English translation:what has to be done/happen before starting the engine

Explanation:
When trying to start a cold engine, fuel condenses on the walls of the intake tract, taking longer to reach the cylinder. Pre-crank Prime delivers fuel to the engine BEFORE it is cranked. This supplies additional fuel to wet the intake tract helping to ensure good starting at low engine temperatures. Link ECUs provide two modes of pre-crank priming.
