Overheating protection

Overheating protection If the starter motor is engaged
for its maximum activation time (30 seconds), the
starter motor circuit is cut automatically to protect the
starter motor from overheating. If possible, leave the
starter motor to cool for at least five minutes before
making a new start attempt.
Read the instruments and warm the
engine up
Allow the engines to idle for the first ten seconds.
Check that instruments and warning displays show
normal values.
Check that no messages are displayed and no warning
signs are showing. If a fault is registered, please refer
to section Fault handling, page 39 for further
information and recommended actions.
Warm the engine up at low speed and low load, so
normal operating temperature is reached before full
power is used.
IMPORTANT:
Never race the engine when it is cold.
Racing the engine when it is cold can damage the
engine components and decrease the engine lifetime.
