Attention! Between unsuccessful attempts to start the engine, wait about 10 seconds so as not to damage the starter.
First, make sure the parking brake is fully engaged and all auxiliary systems are off.
On models with AT move the AT mode selector lever to the position «P» and depress the brake pedal. On models with manual transmission depress the clutch pedal. When the vehicle is equipped with «Intelligent Key» fully depress the brake pedal to move the ignition switch out of position «LOCK».
Turn the ignition key to position «START» and hold it until the engine starts (but not more than 15 seconds), then release the ignition key - it should return to the position «ON». With the starter engaged, do not press the gas pedal, except when the engine starts with difficulty at very low or very high temperatures, as well as in summer, when starting a warm engine within half an hour after turning it off.
If the engine stalls after trying to start, repeat the above procedure again after waiting about 10 seconds. If the engine cannot be started, check the fuel pump fuse.
Allow the engine to idle for at least 30 seconds before driving. Until the engine has warmed up, avoid running it at high speeds and under heavy load, especially in cold weather.
After a prolonged high load on the engine, do not turn it off immediately, let it idle for a few minutes first to avoid a sharp temperature drop in different areas of the engine.
