Never run an engine in an enclosed area. Engine exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide and
can cause loss of consciousness, resulting in severe injury or death.
Starting a cold engine
1. Verify the gear selector is shifted to the Parking or Neutral position.
2. Apply the foot brake.
3. Turn the engine stop switch and main key switch to ā ā (ON)
4. Verify the throttle is completely closed, then turn the key start switch.
5. Once the engine starts, continue to warm the engine for a short period before operating the
vehicle.
NOTE:
Do not activate the starting system more than 10 seconds on each attempt. If the engine fails to
start, release the start switch, pause a few seconds before the next attempt, then try the start switch
again. Each attempt should be as short as possible to preserve battery energy.
The engine can be started in any gear if the brake is applied. However, a best practice is to shift into
Neutral or Park before starting the engine. If the neutral indicator light on the dashboard does not
come on when the gear selector is in the neutral position, contact your dealer to inspect the indicator
electrical circuit or adjust the gear shifting system.
