Starting and stopping the

Tips for starting
 The operation mode can be in any mode
to start the engine.
 The starter motor will be turning for up to
approximately 15 seconds if the engine
switch is released at once. Pressing the
engine switch again while the starter
motor is still turning will stop the starter
motor. The starter motor will be turning
for up to approximately 30 seconds while
the engine switch is pressed.
If the engine does not start, wait for a
N00560100150 while and then attempt to start the engine
again. Trying repeatedly with the starter
motor still turning will damage the starter
mechanism.
 If the engine will not start because the bat-
tery is weak or discharged, refer to
"Jump-starting the engine" on page 8-2
for instructions.
 A longer warm up period will only con-
sume extra fuel.
The engine is warmed up enough for driv-
ing when the low coolant temperature
indicator goes out.
Refer to "Low coolant temperature indi-
cator" on page 5-71.
