position at the condition of not pressing
down the accelerator pedal. If the engine
doesn't start right away, turn the key away
from the START (III) position in 15 seconds,
and pause for at least 10 seconds before try
again.
5. If the engine doesn't start within 15
seconds, or starts but stalls right away,

the key pauses on the START (III) position

starting the engine, leave the feet from the
accelerator pedal, so the engine does not
race in high speed.
