3 Starting the engine when vehicle has
been parked over an extended period
When the vehicle is not used for a week or more or
the engine oil and oil filter are replaced, the engine
becomes starved of oil. Before the engine is started,
therefore, it must be cranked in accordance with the
following procedure to distribute oil to its various
components.
CAUTION
• To ensure maximum safety, be sure to pull
the parking brake lever fully to apply the
parking brake and block the wheels with
chocks thus preventing the vehicle from
accidentally moving.
• Performing the cranking is of essential
importance in terms of protecting the turbo-
charger.
1. Pull the parking brake lever to fully apply the
parking brake.
2. Manual transmission vehicles:
Place gearshift lever in the neutral position.
Automatic transmission vehicles:
Place the range selector lever in the “P” posi-
tion.
3. Without depressing the accelerator pedal, place
the starter switch in the “START” position and
crank the engine for roughly 15 seconds.
If the engine starts, release the starter key and
do not depress the accelerator pedal for roughly
15 seconds.
