The starter motor can be damaged if
operated continuously for more than 20
seconds.
Upon start-up, release the key.
If the engine did not start, release the key mo-
mentarily, then try again.
Each time the key switch is turned from OFF
to ON, the warning system will self-test. Refer
to Engine Monitoring on page 42. If the
warning system fails to self-test during start-
up, see the Service Note on page 64.

this starting procedure or if it fails to start, re-
fer to Troubleshooting on page 63.
After Engine Starts
Check the water pump indicator. A steady
