The system consists of a starter, a traction relay and a battery. The battery transfers electrical energy to the traction relay, which then completes the circuit to the starter, which starts the engine.
Traction relay and starter mounted together on the lower rear side (thermal shield) engine. No periodic lubrication or maintenance is required.
The car's circuitry is designed so that the starter can only be used when the gear selector is in Park or Neutral (automatic transmission).
Never operate the starter for more than 30 seconds without stopping. Pause to cool down for at least two minutes.
