3. Place the transmission in neutral or depress the clutch pedal.
DO NOT crank the engine for more than 30 seconds at
a time; wait two minutes after each try to allow the
starter to cool. Failure to follow these instructions
could cause starter damage.
Some starters are equipped with starter protection. If
the engine is running, the starter temperature is too
high, the transmission is not in neutral or the clutch
pedal is not depressed, starter engagement is
inhibited. Also, when the key is turned to the start
position, there is a one second delay before the starter
is engaged.
4. Turn on the ignition with the switch key. Some tell-tales will come
on in a routine check that shows the bulbs and systems are OK.
If any of the tell-tales stay lit, that function of the vehicle may not
be operable. DO NOT operate the vehicle until the problem is
repaired. For an explanation of the tell-tales, Refer to the Driver
Information Display Manual.
5. Turn the key to the start position. Release key as soon as the
engine has started. For the Volvo engine, the preheater can be
engaged to help starting in cold temperatures.
If at start-up, or thereafter, the oil pressure gauge
indicates any drop in oil pressure, the engine must be
shut down immediately. Failure to stop the engine may
cause major engine damage.
