CAUTION
•
It is dangerous to push-start the engine
since, at the time of start, sufficient assist
power is not available for both braking and
steering. Only push-start the engine when it
is unavoidable.
•
It is impossible to push-start an automatic
transmission vehicle, and attempting to do
so could damage the transmission.
•
Do not use ether or other vapor compound
type starting aids. Use of such fluid on this
engine could result in serious damage.
Starting the engine
WARNING
•
Do not warm up the engine in a garage or
other closed area. When starting the
engine or entering or leaving a garage, do
not run the engine for longer than is nec-
essary as the accumulation of exhaust gas
in closed areas is very dangerous.
Exhaust emissions contain carbon monox-
ide (CO), which if breathed can cause
unconsciousness or death.
•
If you smell exhaust gases inside the cab,
inspect the exhaust pipe and check
whether exhaust gases are leaking
through holes or cracks caused by corro-
sion or damage. If exhaust gases are leak-
ing, have the exhaust pipe inspected by an
authorized dealer.
If exhaust gases that have leaked from the
exhaust pipe come into the cab, ventilate
the cab with fresh air by opening the win-
dows fully or by opening the doors.
•
Make sure that there are no flammables
such as dry grass under or behind the
parked vehicle, especially close to the
exhaust pipe. A fire could be started by the
heat from the engine or exhaust pipe.
•
When you start the engine, be sure to sit in
the correct position on the driver’s seat to
wait for the engine to warm up. If you are
leaning out of the door window or other-
wise incorrectly seated and the vehicle
suddenly moves, a serious accident could
occur.
