Tips for starting
l Do not operate the starter motor continu-
ously longer than 10 seconds; doing so
could run down the battery. If the engine
does not start, turn the ignition switch
back to "LOCK", wait a few seconds,
and then try again. Trying repeatedly
with the starter motor still turning will
damage the starter mechanism.
WARNING
l
Never run the engine in a closed or poorly
ventilated area any longer than is needed
to move your vehicle in or out of the area.
Carbon monoxide gases are odourless and
can be fatal.
CAUTION
l Never attempt to start the engine by pushing
or pulling the vehicle.
l Do not run the engine at high rpm or drive
the vehicle at high speed until the engine has
had a chance to warm up.
l
Release the ignition key as soon as the en-
gine starts to avoid damaging the starter mo-
tor.
