NOTEl The  engine  can  only  be  started  when  the  se-
lector  lever  is  in  the  “P”  (PARK)  or  “N” (NEUTRAL) position (CVT).
For safety reasons, the engine should be star-

When it is difficult to start the engine
After  several  attempts,  you  may  experience
that the engine still does not start. 1. Make  sure  that  all  electric  devices,  such
as  lamps,  air  conditioning  blower  and
rear window demister, are turned off.
2. While depressing the brake pedal ( CVT)
or  the  clutch  pedal  ( M/T),  press  the  ac-
celerator pedal halfway and hold it there, then crank the engine. Release the accel-erator  pedal,  immediately  after  the  en-
gine starts.
3. If  the  engine  still  will  not  start,  the  en-
gine  could  be  flooded  with  too  much
petrol.  While  depressing  the  brake  pedal (CVT )  or  the  clutch  pedal  ( M/T),  push
the  accelerator  pedal  all  the  way  down and  hold  it  there,  then  press  the  engine
switch  to  crank  the  engine.  If  the  engine does  not  start  after  5  to  6  seconds,  push
the  engine  switch  to  stop  cranking  the
engine, and release the accelerator pedal. Put  the  operation  mode  in  OFF.  Wait  a
few  seconds,  and  then  press  the  engine
switch  to  crank  the  engine  again  while
depressing  the  brake  pedal  ( CVT)  or  the
clutch  pedal  ( M/T),  but  do  not  push  the

start,  repeat  these  procedures.  If  the  en-
gine  still  will  not  start,  we  recommend
you to have the vehicle checked.Starting the engine (diesel-pow-
