If the engine should not start immediately,
the starting process is automatically stopped
after a short time. Repeat start ing procedure .
When starting the engine , major electrical
loads are switched off temporari ly.
After a cold engine is started, there may be a
brief period of increased noise because oil
pressure must first build up in the hydraulic

adjusters. This is norma l and not a cause
for concern.
A

spaces - danger of asphyxiation.
- Never turn off the engine until the vehi-

hicle can be exposed to very high or very
low temperatures .
