2. During this period place a black
key fob (1) within 13 mm from the key
reader. The key reader LED should illu-
minate for 2 seconds and then go off,
indicating that the immobilizer has read
and accepted the key fob code. After
that the immobilizer module will send a
signal to the ECM enabling the fuel
injection pulses.
To start the engine, turn ignition key
1 (Fig. 29) from position «I» (Ignition) to
position «II» (Starter—Engine Crank-
ing).
The ignition switch has a blocking
device, which inhibits starter activation
if the engine is running. If the first
attempt to start up the engine fails, try
again by switching from position «I» to
position «0» (OFF) and then again to
position «II» (Cranking).
To remove the ignition key put it into
position «0». Removing the key will
engage the steering wheel lock.
Never leave the key in the ignition
switch to avoid storage battery dis-
charge!
ENGINE START
To start an engine (warm or hot
engine with the coolant temperature
over 90°C) turn the ignition key into «II»
position (Cranking). Do not depress the
accelerator pedal.
During cold seasons when the tem-
perature is below zero we recommend
you to depress the clutch pedal before
attempting an engine start in order to
reduce the load on the starter motor.
If the engine fails to start at first
attempt, switch ignition off, wait 30 sec-
onds, then try to activate the starter
again. It is not recommended to switch
on the starter for more than 10 sec-
onds. After starting the engine release
the ignition key and let it slide into posi-
tion «I» automatically.
Cold start
1. Set the gear lever in neutral posi-
tion. At low ambient temperatures also
depress the clutch pedal.
2. Insert the ignition key and activate
the starter motor. If the first attempt to
start the engine fails, switch ignition off,
and in 20-30 seconds reactivate the
starter motor. It is not recommended to
keep the starter motor running for more
than 10-15 seconds.
Do not depress the accelerator pedal
while starting the engine.
3. After the engine start-up, release
the ignition key, which will return to
position «I» automatically (Fig.27). As
soon as the engine runs steadily,
smoothly release the clutch pedal.
After a long parking period we rec-
ommend you to prime fuel into the float
chamber of the carburetor engine
before attempting to start the engine.
