Starting and Stopping the Engine
If the engine does not start within 10
seconds, wait for a short period and try
again.
If the engine does not start after three
attempts, wait 10 seconds and follow the
Flooded engine procedure.
If you have difficulty starting the engine
when the temperature is below -10ºC,
press the accelerator pedal between ¼ to
½ of its travel and try again.
Flooded engine
1.
Fully depress the clutch pedal.
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and
hold it there.
3. Start the engine.
If the engine does not start, repeat the
Cold or hot engine procedure.
Engine idle speed after starting
The speed at which the engine idles
immediately after starting will vary
depending on the engine temperature.
If the engine is cold then the idle speed will
automatically be increased.
The idle speed will slowly decrease to the
normal level as the engine warms up.
STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE
Cold or hot engine
Note: When the temperature is below
-10ºC, you may need to crank the engine for
up to 10 seconds. To aid ease of cranking,
turn the ignition key to position II for at least
couple of seconds before starting the
engine. This ensures that maximum fuel
pressure is established.
Note: Continue cranking the engine until it
starts.
Note: You can only operate the starter for
a maximum of 10 seconds at a time.

Fully depress the clutch pedal.
2. Start the engine.
3. Repeat this exercise for 3 to 4 times
until the engine cranks properly.
Note: If starting difficulty is experienced at
temperatures below -10ºC, depress the
accelerator pedal 1/4 to ½ of its travel to
assist starting. This should be done only, if
the engine fails to start after several
attempts of cranking as given in the above
steps.
Flooded Engine
Note: Do not depress the accelerator pedal
fully.
1.
Depress the clutch pedal fully.
2. Slowly, depress the accelerator fully,
hold it in this position and start the
engine.

exercise for 3 to 4 times.
Note: Avoid repeated unsuccessful cranking
of Engine. The number of start attempts is
limited to approximately six. If you exceed
this limit, the system will not allow you to
try again until a period of 10 minutes has
elapsed.
Note: You cannot start the vehicle, if the
fuel level reaches below threshold limit.
Upon refueling, you can start the vehicle.
