Tips for starting
Do not operate the starter motor continuously longer than 10
seconds; doing so could run down the battery. If the engine
does not start, turn the ignition switch back to “LOCK”, wait a
few seconds, and then try again. Trying repeatedly with the
starter motor still turning will damage the starter mechanism.
CAUTION
!
● Remove the key when leaving the vehicle.
In some countries, it is prohibited to leave the key on
the vehicle when parked.
WARNING
!
● Never run the engine in a closed or poorly ventilated
area any longer than is needed to move your vehicle
in or out of the area. Carbon monoxide gases are
odourless and can be fatal.
CAUTION
!
● Never attempt to start the engine by pushing or pull-
ing the vehicle.
● Do not run the engine at high rpm or drive the vehi-
cle at high speed until the engine has had a change to
warm up.
