ENGINE OPERATION

Figure 3
8. Turn the key to the ON position (Figure 2, (2))
or the HEAT position (Figure 3, (2)). The
pre-heat indicator (Figure 2, (3)) flashes for
several seconds and then goes out. After the
pre-heat indicator goes out you can start the
engine.
Note: The glow plugs are used to assist
starting in cold weather conditions. If you
are operating your engine in normal or
warm weather conditions, you may
bypass the Pre-Heat/Heat functions and
go directly to Start.
NOTICE
Never hold the key in the START position for
longer than 15 seconds or the starter motor will
overheat.
9. Turn the key clockwise to the START position
(Figure 2, (4)) or (Figure 3, (4)). Release the
key as soon as the engine starts. It will return to
the ON position (Figure 2, (2)) or
(Figure 3, (5)).
Note: The starter of electronically controlled
engines 3CE1 will start with a delay of
approx. 0.5 sec. after the key switch has
been turned to the ON position. This is
because the E-ECU self-diagnostics has
run and is not a failure.
10. If the engine fails to start:
1- Wait until the engine comes to a complete
stop before you attempt to start it again.
Engaging the starter while the engine is still
rotating will result in damage to the starter
and flywheel.
Note: Some key switches are equipped with an
interlock that will not allow you to
re-engage the starter without first turning
the key to the OFF position.
2- Wait at least 30 seconds before you attempt
to start the engine again. This procedure will
allow the battery voltage to recover and
prevent damage to the starter motor due to
the low battery voltage.
