NOTE:
Do not operate the starter for more
than 15 seconds continuously or
continue to operate the starter after
the engine has started to avoid dam-
aging the starter motor. If the en-
gine makes a false start, allow it and
the starter motor to come to rest
before attempting to start the en-
gine again. Never attempt to start
the engine with the transaxle in
gear. Do not depress the accelera-
tor pedal whilst starting the engine.
Allow the engine to idle for 20 sec-
onds or so before driving the ve-
hicle.
!
CAUTION:
Do not leave the vehicle unattended
whilst idling. Never allow the ve-
hicle to idle or warm up in a con-
fined space (ie garage) longer than
is necessary to move the vehicle
into an open area.

Normal Conditions:
The Starting Procedure:
1. Insert key, and fasten the seat belt.
2. Depress the clutch pedal fully and
place the gearshift lever (manual
transaxle) in neutral or the selector
lever (automatic transaxle) in "P"
(park) position.
3. After turning the ignition key to the
"ON" position, make certain all warn-
ing lights and gauges are function-
ing properly before starting the en-
gine.
!
WARNING:
Be sure that the clutch is fully de-
pressed when starting a manual
transaxle vehicle. This will prevent
sudden movement should the ve-
hicle be started in gear without the
clutch depressed.
Otherwise there is the potential to
cause damage to the vehicle or in-
jury to a person inside or outside of
the vehicle as a result of this sudden
vehicle movement.
