Engine start

These recommendations ensure that a healthy engine starts with a battery that is at least 75% charged, with engine oil of an SAE viscosity grade appropriate for ambient temperature (see app. 1), on gasoline of the volatility class for the winter period of the year, depending on the climatic area of \u200b\u200bapplication in accordance with GOST R 51105-97 or GOST R 51866-2002.

1. Before starting the engine, insert the key into the ignition switch, depress the brake pedal, fully depress the clutch pedal, shift the gear lever to neutral position.

2. Turn on the ignition, pause for a few seconds so that the electric fuel pump has time to raise the pressure in the fuel rail to the working value.

Attention! Do not press the accelerator pedal while starting the engine. The cold start of the engine is optimized to an ambient temperature of minus 27°C without the participation of the driver in the throttle control. At full (all the way) pressing the accelerator pedal in the engine start mode, the fuel supply is blocked to purge the engine cylinders of excess fuel after unsuccessful starts.

3. Turn on the starter. Hold the clutch pedal fully depressed until the start is completed and the engine reaches a steady idle. After starting the engine, release the ignition key - the starter will turn off.

Note. It is not recommended to turn on the starter for more than 10 seconds. When the allowable starter turn-on time is exceeded, the ECM opens the starter turn-on circuit.

4. If the engine does not start within 10 seconds of the starter operation, repeat the start no earlier than after 40 seconds.


5. If the second attempt to start was unsuccessful, start the third one no earlier than 40 seconds later with the accelerator pedal fully depressed (cylinder purge mode). After 6-8 seconds of blowing, slowly release the accelerator pedal.

Note. After unsuccessful starts, if it is necessary to press the accelerator pedal, it is possible to use the hand brake instead of pressing the brake pedal.

6. If the third attempt to start failed, then either the ambient temperature is below minus 27 degrees (the limits of the possibility of a cold start of the engine without auxiliary devices), either the engine is defective, or there is some deviation from the recommendations above.

Attention! It is not allowed to use the starter to start the movement of the car. Under normal conditions, start driving in first gear in the gearbox.

Warning! Exhaust fumes are poisonous! Therefore, the room in which the engine is started and warmed up must be well ventilated.
