Starting

Tips for starting
l
Do not operate the starter motor continuous-
ly longer than 10 seconds; doing so could
run down the battery. If the engine does not
start, turn the ignition switch back to
“LOCK” position, wait a few seconds, and
then try again.
Trying repeatedly with the starter motor still
turning will damage the starter mechanism.
l
If the engine cannot be started because the
battery is weak or dead, refer to the “Emer-
gency starting” section for instructions on
starting the engine.
l
The engine is well warmed up if the coolant
temperature gauge needle starts to move (the
engine speed decreases). Extended warming-
up operation will result in excessive fuel con-
sumption.
WARNING
l
Never run the engine in a closed or poor-
ly ventilated area any longer than is nee-
ded to move your vehicle in or out of the
area. Carbon monoxide gases are odour-
less and can be fatal.
CAUTION
l
Never attempt to start the engine by push-
ing or pulling the vehicle. Especially in
the A/T, since the structure is different
from a M/T, it is not possible to start the
engine by using this technique. Never at-
tempt this or it could damage the A/T.
l
Do not run the engine at high rpm or
drive the vehicle at high speed until the en-
gine has had a chance to warm up.
l
Release the ignition key as soon as the en-
gine starts to avoid damaging the starter
motor.
l
If your vehicle is equipped with a turbo-
charger, do not stop the engine immedi-
ately after high-speed or uphill driving.
First allow the engine to idle to give the
turbocharger a chance to cool down.
