3. STARTING THE ENGINE
NOTE:
Your Engine can start either in gas mode or in petrol
mode but it is always advisable to start in petrol mode
and then switch to gas mode.
•
To start, turn the ignition key to “IGN” position. Ensure
the “MIL” lamp turns “ON”.
•
Select the desired fuel operating mode by pressing the
Fuel Selector Switch.
•
Keep the clutch pedal fully pressed and crank the
engine. DO not press the accelerator pedal.
•
If the engine cranks but fails to start then repeat the
above procedure. Release the key as soon as the engine
starts. Ensure that the “MIL” lamp is “OFF”.
NOTE:
•
Irrespective of the position of the fuel selector switch
(Petrol or CNG), your car’s engine will start using petrol
when the engine / coolant temperature is below 10°C
(especially in cold winter) and later switch over
automatically to CNG (if CNG mode is selected). Once
the engine warms up, your car’s engine will start using
CNG, if CNG mode is selected.
•
During normal ambient (summer and other months), you
car’s engine will start in CNG, if CNG mode is selected.
•
Starting time in CNG will be longer than in petrol (approx
1 sec longer than petrol starting time) due to the physical
characteristics of the fuel.
•
Ensure that your car has sufficient petrol in the tank as
petrol is used for starting until the engine warms up.
•
Ensure that you run your car in “PETROL” mode for at
least 10kms for every 300kms covered in “CNG” mode
to ensure proper working of petrol fuel supply system.
