 The operation mode can be in any mode
to start the engine.
 The starter motor will be turning for up to
approximately 15 seconds if the engine
switch is released at once. Pressing the
engine switch again while the starter
motor is still turning will stop the starter
motor.
The starter motor will be turning for up to
approximately 30 seconds while the
engine switch is pressed.
If the engine does not start, wait for a
while and then attempt to start the engine
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.
 A longer warm up period will only con-
sume extra fuel.
The engine is warmed up enough for driv-
ing when the bar graph of engine coolant
temperature display starts to move or the
low coolant temperature indicator goes
out. Refer to “Engine coolant temperature
display” on page 5-128 or “Low coolant
temperature indicator” on page 5-166.
Your vehicle is equipped with an electroni-
cally controlled fuel injection system. This
system automatically controls fuel injection.

between attempts to restart the engine.
