2. If the engine does not start after
5 ‐ 10 seconds, especially in very
cold weather (below − 18°C or
0°F), it could be flooded with
too much gasoline. Push the
accelerator pedal all the way
to the floor and hold it there as
you hold the key in START for a
maximum of 15 seconds. Wait at
least 15 seconds between each
try, to allow the cranking motor
to cool. When the engine starts,
let go of the key and accelerator.
If the vehicle starts briefly but
then stops again, repeat the
procedure. This clears the extra
gasoline 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.
Notice: The engine is designed
to work with the electronics in
the vehicle. If you add electrical
parts or accessories, you could
change the way the engine
operates. Before adding electrical
equipment, check with your
dealer. If you do not, the engine
might not perform properly. Any
resulting damage would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Fast Idle System
While parked with the engine
idling for an extended period,
turn off the following factory
equipment if emergency lighting
and communication equipment
are operating:
. Air Conditioner
. Fan
.
Rear Window Defogger
. Factory Audio System
When the automatic transmission
is in P (Park), the driver's foot is
off the brake, and the emergency
equipment is turned on, the engine
rpm may increase in increments
from normal idle to the higher levels
of 650 rpm, 700 rpm, or 1,100 rpm
to keep the electrical power of the
vehicle at a steady rate. Even with
the extra power boost, the vehicle
may stall after long periods of time
with a heavy electrical load.
See “ Running the Vehicle While
Parked ” in this section for more
information.
