NOTE
When the ignition is turned to ON, the M32QR
ABS Pressure Modulator Valve solenoids are
briefly energized. This can be audibly detected
by a rapid cycling of the PMVs. If the air system
is fully charged and the service brake pedal is
depressed when ignition is turned to ON, the
modulator valves create a sharp audible "chuff"
of air pressure.
4. Brake pedal must be applied when selecting
Drive (D) otherwise the transmission will stay
in neutral (N);
CAUTION
Do not engage starter for more than 15
seconds at a time. If engine does not start

let starter cool for one minute before attempting
to restart.
NOTE
If engine does not start, return the switch to
OFF position before attempting to restart.
CAUTION
Do not press the accelerator pedal before
starting. This could result in an electronic
control unit fault and degrade the fuel system
control.
CAUTION
Special precautions
turbocharged engines to avoid possible turbine
damage. After starting, run the engine at
normal idle for two minutes to allow lubricating
oil to reach the turbocharger. Then run the
engine at fast idle. Let oil pressure reach
normal operating range before driving.
NOTE
If the accelerator pedal is depressed before
starting, release and wait 30 seconds before
attempting to restart.
