Starting the Engine

1. Apply the parking brake.

2. In cold weather, turn off all

electrical accessories to reduce

the drain on the battery.

3. Push the clutch pedal down all the

way. The ENGINE START button

has no effect unless the clutch

pedal is depressed.

4. Turn the ignition key to ON (II)

position.

5. Without touching the accelerator

pedal, push the ENGINE START

button. If the engine does not start

right away, do not hold the

ENGINE START button for more

than 15 seconds at a time. Pause

for at least 10 seconds before

trying again.

6. If the engine does not start within

15 seconds, or starts but stalls

right away, repeat step 5 with the

accelerator pedal pressed half-way

down. If the engine starts, release

pressure on the accelerator pedal

so the engine does not race.

7. If the engine still does not start,

press the accelerator pedal all the

way down and hold it there while

starting in order to clear flooding.

As before, hold the ENGINE

START button for no more than

15 seconds. Return to step 6 if the

engine does not start. If it starts,

lift your foot off the accelerator

pedal so the engine does not race.
