9-18 Driving and Operating
2. If the engine does not start after
five to 10 seconds, especially in
very cold weather (below -18°C
or 0°F), it could be flooded with
too much petrol. Try pushing the
accelerator pedal all the way to
the floor and holding it there as
you press the START button, for
up to a maximum of 15 seconds.
Wait at least 15 seconds
between each try, to allow the
cranking motor to cool down.
When the engine starts, let go of
the button and the accelerator.
If the vehicle starts briefly but
then stops again, do the same
thing. This clears the extra petrol
from the engine. Do not race the
engine immediately after starting
it. Operate the engine and
transmission gently until the oil
warms up and lubricates all
moving parts.
Automatic Engine Start/Stop
Vehicles with a manual transmission
may have an automatic engine start/
stop feature. After the engine is
started and has reached operating
temperature, the auto stop feature
may cause the engine to turn off
when the transmission is placed in
neutral, the clutch is released, and
the vehicle comes to a complete
stop. The engine may restart if
brake boost pressure is depleted,
the heating, ventilation and air
conditioning system detects a
change in the interior temperature,
the battery state of charge is low,
the bonnet is opened, or if battery
current draw is excessive. When the
clutch is applied and the
transmission is placed in gear, the
engine will restart. The engine will
continue to run until the next
auto stop.
If the driver door is opened while in
auto stop mode, the engine will
restart, and exit the auto stop mode.
AUTO STOP on the tachometer
signifies that the engine is in auto
stop mode. See
Rev Counter on
page 5 ‑ 10 . When the vehicle is
turned off, the tachometer will move
to OFF.
