Starting Procedure
WARNING! Ensure that the
following safety instruc-
tions are strictly observed:

confined space or unventi-
lated area. Exhaust fumes
contain toxic gases which, if
inhaled, can prove fatal.

that all warning lights have
been extinguished and the
warning buzzer has ceased
to sound.
CAUTION: When the engine
starts and runs, do not allow
the engine to exceed its

applied and the shift lever is in the
neutral position.
2. Turn ignition key to position ‘C’ and
check that the oil pressure and
parking brake warning lights illumi-
nate and that the fuel gauge shows
sufficient fuel for the trip.
3. If the engine WAIT light is on, wait
until it goes out.
4. With the accelerator pedal
released, turn the ignition key to
position D; release the key immedi-
ately after the engine has started. If
the engine fails to start after 10
seconds, release the key. Wait 10
