STARTING PROCEDURES STOPPING ENGINE

WARNING
§
Fasten safety bells before driving.
§
Never start or let the engine run in
a confined or enclosed, unventilated
area. Exhaust fumes from the engine
contain carbon monoxide, which is a
colorless and odorless gas. Carbon
monoxide can be fatal if inhaled.
§
Never leave engine idling unat-
tended. An unattended vehicle with a
running engine is potentially hazar-
dous.
§
Do not park or operate the vehicle
in areas where the hot exhaust system
may come in contact with dry grass,
brush, fuel spill or other material
which can cause a fire.
§
Do not leave engine unattended at
idle. When starting engine, be ready to
drive off immediately. Maintain mode-
rate speed until your engine is com-
pletely warm. Remember that your en-
gine performs best at operating tem-
perature.
Automatic Transmission
Engine will only start with selector lever
in Neutral or Park.
Manual Transmission
Start with gearshift lever in Neutral,
clutch pedal depressed, so that the
starter only has to crank the engine.
Starting engine
§
Do not depress accelerator pedal
while starting. This applies at any outside
temperature.
§
As soon as the engine starts,
release the ignition key.
§
If the engine does not start the first
time or stalls, turn the ignition off and
restart.
§
Operate the starter for no more than
10 seconds.
§
Allow about 30 seconds between
each starting attempt.
§
When starting a very hot engine, it
may be necessary to slightly depress the
accelerator pedal after starting the
engine.
If the engine does not start, the fuse for
the electric fuel pump or the fuses for the
engine timing may be blown – see page
136.
Do not stop engine immediately after
hard or extended driving. Keep engine
running for about two minutes to
prevent excessive heat build-up.
WARNING
§
Before you check anything in the
engine compartment, stop the engine
and let it cool down. Hot components
can burn skin on contact.
§
Never touch the radiator fan
blades. They will rotate spontaneously
when the thermos witch turns the fan
on. The radiator fan switches on
automatically when the coolant or
engine compartment reaches a certain
temperature and will continue to run
{even with the ignition off) until the
temperature drops. This may take up
to about 10 minutes.
