Cold engine starting
Cars with carburetor engines with manual choke
Pull the choke control handle all the way out, turn on the starter without pressing the accelerator pedal while the starter is running. At the same time, the carburetor choke control lamp lights up in the instrument cluster.
After starting the engine, gradually press the choke control handle so that stable engine operation is maintained.
After warming up the engine to normal operating temperature, press the handle all the way down.
Cars with engines with automatic carburetor starting device
Insert the key into the switch, press and release the accelerator pedal sharply to turn on the starting device and turn on the starter by turning the key to position III. If the engine does not start, return the key to position "I" and after 15 seconds turn on the starter again.
After starting, the engine will begin to run at fast idle speed. After a few seconds, slightly reduce the engine crankshaft speed by sharply pressing the accelerator pedal.
After the engine has warmed up, sharply press and release the accelerator pedal to switch to normal idle mode.
Starting a hot engine
Cars with carburetor engines with manual choke

Cars with engines with automatic carburetor starting device
Press the accelerator pedal halfway and, holding the pedal in this position, turn on the starter.
Starting a very hot engine in cars with carburetor engines
If the engine is very hot, turn on the starter by pressing the accelerator pedal all the way down. If the carburetor is overfilled, after some time, press the accelerator pedal all the way down and turn on the starter.
Cars with fuel injected engines
Starting both a cold and a hot engine is done in the same way.
To do this, press the accelerator pedal to the middle of the stroke and, holding the pedal in this position, turn on the starter.
Starting the engine using an auxiliary battery
To start the engine with a discharged car battery, connect its positive terminal to the positive terminal of the auxiliary battery with a wire (usually red in color) with crocodile clips. Use another wire to connect the negative terminal of the auxiliary battery to the vehicle ground at a point away from the negative terminal of the vehicle battery.
Note: To prevent sparking, connect the I wires to the auxiliary battery terminals first.
Do not disconnect the booster battery cables until the engine is running at normal idle speed.
