 Do not operate the starter motor continu-
ously for longer than 15 seconds as this
could run the battery down or damage the
starter motor. If the engine does not start,
turn the ignition switch back to the
“LOCK” position, wait a few seconds,
and then try again. Trying repeatedly with
the engine or starter motor still turning
will damage the starter mechanism.
 If the engine will not start because the bat-
tery is weak or discharged, refer to
“Jump-starting the engine” (on page 8-2)
for instructions.
 If the engine is turned off while driving, the
power brake booster will stop functioning
and braking efficiency will be reduced. Also,
the power steering system will not function
and it will require greater effort to manually
steer the vehicle.
 Do not leave the key in the “ON” position for
a long time when the engine is not running.
This will cause the battery to run down.
 Do not turn the key to the “START” position
when the engine is running. It will damage
the starter motor.
