3. Turn the key to 3 (on) without
turning the key to 4 (start).

Some warning lights will briefly illuminate. See

Warning lights and

chimes

in the

Instrument Cluster

chapter for more information

regarding the warning lights.

Starting the engine

1. Turn the key to 3 (on) without
turning the key to 4 (start). If there
is difficulty in turning the key,
rotate the steering wheel until the
key turns freely.

2. Turn the key to 4 (start), then
release the key as soon as the
engine starts.

Note:

If the engine does not start within five seconds on the first try,

turn the key to off, wait 10 seconds and try again. If the engine still fails
to start, press and hold the accelerator to the floor and try again; this
will allow the engine to crank with the fuel shut off in case the engine is
flooded with fuel.

Guarding against exhaust fumes

Carbon monoxide is present in exhaust fumes. Take precautions to avoid
its dangerous effects.

WARNING:

If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have

your dealer inspect your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you

smell exhaust fumes.
