5. Instruccions de funcionament

The Denso 280-0329 Remanufactured Starter is designed to function identically to the original equipment starter in your vehicle. Its operation is integrated with your vehicle's ignition system.

  • Once the engine starts, the bendix gear disengages from the flywheel, and the starter motor ceases operation.

Avoid prolonged cranking (more than 10-15 seconds) to prevent overheating the starter motor. Allow a brief cool-down period between starting attempts if the engine does not immediately start.
