Starting and Charging: Description and Operation

General Description
This system consists of starter, AC generator, starter relay, clutch start SW (M/T), mode SW (A/T) and heater & A/C relay.
When starter SW is set to "ST" position with A/T select lever at "P" (Parking) or "N" (Neutral) position (Mode SW "ON"), or clutch pedal depressed (Clutch start SW "ON"), battery positive voltage is applied to starter solenoid coil through starter relay to start starter. At the same time, starter relay cuts off blower motor and A/C circuit.
