Cold start support system (Flex fuel vehicle, for Brazil and Paraguay)

If you start the engine equipped with the flex system when the outside temperature is low (below 20°C), the cold start support system will operate automatically depending on the usage condition.

For starting the FFV (Flex fuel vehicle) when the engine is cold and the outside temperature is low (below 20°C), there should be the gasoline in the reservoir. For filling the gasoline, refer to the “Gasoline reservoir in the engine room (Flex fuel vehicle- For Brazil and Paraguay)” on page 4-30 and “Gasoline engine” on page 1-03.
