STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE
Preparation for starting the engine
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Manual transmission:
Move the gearshift lever to Neutral
position and depress the clutch
pedal to the floor while cranking
the engine.
Automatic transmission:
Press the push button to “P”(Park)
or “N”(Neutral), although “P” is
preferred.
3. Push on the battery main switch.
4. Turn the starter key to “ON”.
Starting the engine
1. Turn the starter key to START
position. Avoid excessive starter
cranking(in excess of 10 seconds)
to prevent any possible damage to
starter motor or batteries. If the
engine fails to start, wait about 30
seconds before attempting to start
engine again.
2. Use the idle control knob to idle
the engine at the normal
speed (rpm) until the normal oper-
ating temperature is reached.
3. Do not overrun the engine under
the normal operating temperature
not obtained. This may shorten the
engine life and increase fuel con-
sumption.
