NOTE:
• When the engine has started, allow it to warm
up until the needle in the coolant temperature
gauge starts to move.
• Do not continue operating the starter for more
than 15 seconds as this could damage it or dis-
charge the battery.
• If you operate the starter continuously for 10
seconds and the engine still does not start, turn
the starter switch to the “ACC” position and wait
about 30 seconds for the battery to recover
before performing the starting procedure again.
• Use the engine idling control volume when
adjusting the engine speed immediately after
starting the engine. Doing so can prevent need-
less racing of the engine.
• On a vehicle that has not been operated for a
week or more, or after replacement of engine oil
or engine oil filter element, be sure to crank the
engine before starting it.
• If the indicator lamp does not illuminate in
cold weather, the fuse for the preheating circuit
may have blown and should be inspected.
P. 13-13
If the indicator lamp flashes, the preheating
circuit is malfunctioning. Have it inspected by an
authorized dealer.
• In a cold region, using a high-capacity battery
improves engine startability.
