Starting the engine

Do not operate the starter motor continuously for more than 10 seconds.
If the engine fails to start after operating the starter for 5 to 10 seconds, wait for 10 seconds or more before trying again.
NOTE
It may be difficult to start the engine
when the battery has been disconnected
and reconnected (for maintenance
or other purposes). This difficulty
is caused by the electronically
controlled throttle’s self-diagnosis
function. To overcome it, keep the
ignition switch in the “ON” position
for approximately 10 seconds before
starting the engine.
