switches to "OFF". Have a break of 60 seconds or longer for starter functionality
recovery and engine controller (ECM) communication process, and then perform
the starting operation again.
CAUTION
When an abnormal sound is heard from the starter, if the starting operation is
continued, the starter can be burned out.

without waiting for the starter to stop completely may damage or break the
starter pinion and the engine ring gear.
Starter failure may occur if the engine is started when the battery has not been
sufficiently charged.

ADVICE
Before starting the engine in cold weather, be sure to perform preheating.
When it is difficult to start the engine, let it stand for a while to allow the battery
to recover, perform adequate preheating, and then start the engine.
In the cold season, when the engine is cold, the exhaust smoke (white smoke)
may increase.
