mance. If the start time becomes long-
er, the plugs may be fouled, making the
engine difficult to start. If this occurs,

. A click sound may be heard when the

brake pedal is depressed and released.

sound is likely to occur in particular if
the engine is stopped when the tem-
perature of the transmission oil is high.
