the engine is started. The indicator light
(ON) turns off. (The indicator light (ON)
illuminates when the ignition is switched

be inspected before the engine is started
(page 5-43).
NOTE

When the push button start is pressed to the
ON position, the sound of the headlight
leveling motors operating at the front of the
engine compartment can be heard. This does
not indicate an abnormality.
