Starting the Engine (cont'd)
Cold Weather at High Altitude Starting
NOTE:
When starting in cold weather, keep all unnecessary electrical
circuits off (lights, defogger, etc.) for the best battery output.
Do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. Wait
10 seconds before going to the next step.
1. When starting in cold weather at high altitude (above 8,000 feet),
push the accelerator pedal about halfway and hold it there while
cranking the engine. Once the engine starts, release the
accelerator gradually as the engine speeds up.
2. If ft doesn't start within 15 seconds, push the accelerator pedal
down to the floor and hold it there while cranking in order to clear
flooding. Try step 1 again.
NOTE:
If the outside temperature is below freezing, or if your car has not
been driven for several days, warm up the engine for a few minutes
before driving.
