Regular Maintenance: Inspect and clean the starter motor during routine servicing. Check for any rust o r corrosion, especially in areas prone to high humidity.
Battery Health: Maintain the 12V battery in good condition, as a weak battery will put extra load on the starter motor.
Avoid Short Trips: Minimize short trips, as they can prevent the hybrid system and battery from reaching optimal charge levels, causing unnecessary strain on the starter motor.
