STARTING A GASOLINE
ENGINE
Note: You can only operate the starter for
a limited period, for example 10 seconds.
The number of start attempts is limited to
approximately six. If you exceed this limit,
the system does not allow you to try again
until some time has elapsed, for example
30 minutes.
When you start the engine, the idle speed
increases, this helps to warm up the
engine. If the engine idle speed does not
slow down automatically, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.
Before starting the engine, check the
following:
•
Make sure all occupants have fastened
their safety belts.
•
Make sure the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off.
•
Make sure to set the parking brake.
•
Move the transmission selector lever
to position P (automatic transmission)
or neutral (manual transmission).
•
Turn the ignition key to position C. If
your vehicle is equipped with a keyless
ignition, see the following instructions.
