Engine Starting Tips

1. Do not crank the starter continuously for more than 10 seconds; this will discharge the battery. If the engine does not start, turn the ignition switch back to the "LOCK" position, wait a few minutes, and then try again.

2. If the engine cannot be started due to a weak charge or a discharged battery, refer to the "Jump Starting" section.

3. After starting, do not let the engine idle without driving the vehicle.

4. When the air temperature is very low, warm up the engine at idle at high speed to ensure proper oil circulation.

CAUTION

1. Do not run the engine at high idle speed or drive the vehicle at high speed until the engine has warmed up.

2. Release the ignition key as soon as the engine starts to avoid damaging the starter.
