CAUTION
Never operate the starter motor while

verely damaging them.

Check the Engine
Operation and Maintenance Manual
for details.
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Ensure that Neutral is selected for
the transmission mode, and that N
indicates on the display
.
NOTE
The transmission will not allow the en-
gine to
crank if a mode other than
Neutral is selected, on transmission
shifter, when attempting to start the
engine.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON and
allow the transmission to power-up.
NOTE
Engine cranking is delayed until the
transmission power-up
is complete
and the gear display shows a solid N.
If Neutral (N) is not shown in the gear
display, ensure that secondary air
pressure has met the minimum thresh-
old for transmission operation. The
Transmission Air Low popup will indi-
cate on the display until secondary air
pressure has met the minimum thresh-
old. Wait until the popup disappears
before attempting to drive the vehicle.
4. Start the engine.
If the engine does not start within
30 seconds, release the ignition
switch. To avoid overtaxing the
starter motor or the batteries, don’t
use the starter for more than 30
seconds. Let the starter motor cool
and the batteries recover for two
minutes before trying again. If the
engine still won’t start after a
couple of tries, check the fuel lines
for possible fuel starvation or
