STARTING AND OPERATING 2–5
4. Warm-up
Allow the engine to idle for at least
30seconds after starting. Drive at mod-
erate speed for a short distance first,
especially in cold weather.
NOTE
On vehicles equipped with an auto-
matic transmission, fuel is automati-
cally cut off when the engine is “rac-
ing” (running at high speed) with
selector lever position “P” or “N”.
IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM*
The Immobilizer System provides an addi-
tional theft deterrent to the vehicle in which
it is installed and prevents it from being
started by unauthorized persons.
When the ignition key with integrated tran-
sponder is turned to the ON position, ECU
(Engine Control Unit) checks the crypto code
of key and, if correct, allow your Musso to
start the engine.
If you can not start the engine, have the
system checked by Ssangyong Dealer.
The valid key for a vehicle equipped with a
Immobilizer System is a mechanical ignition
key with integrated transponder, which is
electronically coded. The transponder is
placed invisibly in the ignition key.
Only valid ignition keys can be used to start
the engine.
The immobilizer system isolates fuel injection
control system in ECU(electric control unit)
when invalid keys are used.
CAUTION
To help prevent the start motor dam-
age;
•
Do not operate the starter for more
than 15 seconds at a time.
• If the engine does not start, wait 10
seconds before trying again.
CAUTION
Excessive temperature can damage
the exhaust system.
Do not idle at high speed for more
than 5 minutes.
3. Crank the engine without touching the
accelerator pedal by turning the igniting
key to the “START” position.
Release the key when the engine starts.
If the engine starts, but fails to run, re-
peat the above procedure.
