Abstract
A method for starting a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine, an operator actuatable switch, an electric starter and a corresponding starter relay includes coupling a first control circuit to the starter relay during one or more crank operations, and coupling a second control circuit to the starter relay during the one or more crank operations, the coupling steps resulting in a minimal delay time associated with the starting of the motor vehicle.
