Starting the engine (Granta 2190)

These recommendations will ensure that the engine will start properly with the battery at least 75% charged and engine oil of the appropriate SAE viscosity grade for the ambient temperature (see appendix 1), on gasoline of the evaporation class for the winter period of the year, depending on the climatic region of application in accordance with GOST R 51105-97 or GOST R 51866-2002.

1. Before starting the engine, insert the key into the ignition switch, press the brake pedal, depress the clutch pedal all the way, and move the gear shift lever to neutral.

2. Turn on the ignition, pause for a few seconds to allow the electric fuel pump to raise the pressure in the fuel rail to the operating value.

Caution: Do not press the accelerator pedal while starting the engine. Cold engine starting is optimized down to an ambient temperature of minus 27°C without the driver having to operate the throttle valve. When the accelerator pedal is fully pressed (all the way down) in engine start mode, the fuel supply is blocked to purge the engine cylinders of excess fuel after unsuccessful starts.

3. Turn on the starter. Keep the clutch pedal pressed all the way until the engine starts and reaches a stable idle speed. 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. If the permissible starter engagement time is exceeded, the ECM opens the starter engagement circuit.

4. If the engine does not start within 10 seconds of the starter running, try starting again no earlier than 40 seconds later.

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

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

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