GENERAL INFORMATION
General points on starting
If the battery has been disconnected
the vehicle may exhibit some unusual
driving characteristics for approx. 8

reconnecting the battery.
This is because the engine
management system must realign
itself with the engine. Any unusual
driving characteristics during this
period may be disregarded.
