3. If the engine still will not start, the en-
gine could be flooded with too much
petrol. While depressing the brake pedal
on vehicles equipped with automatic
transmission, CVT or the clutch pedal on
the vehicles equipped with manual trans-
mission, push the accelerator pedal all
the way down and hold it there, then
press the engine switch to crank the en-
gine. If the engine does not start after 5
to 6 seconds, press the engine switch to
stop the engine, and release the accelera-
tor pedal. Put the operation mode in
OFF. Wait a few seconds, and then press
the engine switch to crank the engine
again while depressing the brake pedal
or the clutch pedal, but do not push the
accelerator pedal. If the engine fails to
start, repeat these procedures. If the en-
gine still will not start, we recommend
you to have the vehicle checked.
