the ignition switch in any position.
•For diesel engine models: In cold condi-
tions there may be a delay for a few sec-

to the glow plugs heating to ensure ad-
equate engine starting conditions. The
glow indicator light (
) will illuminate
during this delay, then the engine will start.
4. Immediately release the ignition switch when the
engine starts. If the engine starts, but fails to run,
repeat the above procedures.

proximately 1/3 of the way to the floor)
and hold it and then crank the engine. Re-
lease the ignition switch and the accelera-
tor pedal when the engine starts.
•If the engine is very hard to start because
it is flooded, depress the accelerator pedal
all the way to the floor and hold it. Crank
the engine for 5-6 seconds. After cranking
the engine, release the accelerator pedal.
Crank the engine with your foot off the ac-
celerator pedal by turning the ignition
switch to START. Release the switch when
