Tips for starting
● Do not continuously operate the starter motor longer than
10 seconds; doing so could run down the battery. If the
engine does not start, turn the ignition switch back to
"LOCK" position, wait a few seconds, and then try again.
Trying repeatedly with the starter motor still turning will
damage the starter mechanism.
WARNING
!
● 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
!
● Never attempt to start the engine by pushing or pull-
ing the vehicle.
● Do not run the engine at high rpm or drive the vehi-
cle at high speed until the engine has had chance to
warm up.
● Release the ignition key as soon as the engine starts
to avoid damaging the starter motor.
● If your vehicle is equipped with a turbocharger, do
not stop the engine immediately after high-speed or
uphill driving. First allow the engine to idle to give
the turbocharger a chance to cool down.
