Warm-up
Allow the engine to idle for at least 30
seconds after starting. Do not race the

moderate speed for a short distance
first, especially in cold weather. In
cold weather, keep the engine running
for a minimum of 2 - 3 minutes before
shutting it off. Starting and stopping
the engine over a short period of time
may make the vehicle more difficult to
start.
