6-3 Operation
NOTE:
If the engine fails to start, release the key,
and then try starting again. Wait a few
seconds before the next attempt. Each
cranking should be as short as possible to
preserve battery energy. Do not crank the
engine more than 5 seconds on each
attempt.
CAUTION :
See the “Engine break-in”section prior to
operating the engine for the first time.
Jump-starting
Jump-starting the vehicle should be
avoided.
The battery should be removed
and charged
instead. However, if the vehicle
must be jumpstarted, proceed as follows.
1. Turn the key to“OFF”.
2. Open the hood. (See pages 8-6 - 8-7for
hood opening and closing procedures.)
3. Remove the battery compartment cover.
4. Using a charged 12V battery, connect
the positive lead of the jumper cable to
the positive terminal of the battery in the
vehicle and the other end of the positive
lead to the positive terminal of the
charged battery.
