CAUTION
Do not crank the engine for more
than 30 seconds at a time; wait two
minutes after each try to allow the
starter to cool. Failure to follow
these instructions could cause
starter damage.
NOTE! Some starters are equipped
with an optional thermostat. If over-
cranking occurs, the thermostat breaks
the electrical circuit to the starter mo-
tor until the motor has cooled.
Turn on the ignition with the switch
key (see page 248 for ignition switch
information). Some telltales will light
up in a routine check that shows that
bulbs and systems are OK. The
INFO and
stay on between 3 to 10 seconds.
If any of the telltales stay lit, that
function of the vehicle may not be op-
erable. Do not operate the vehicle until
the problem is repaired.
