/!\ WARNING
Do not leave children, unreliable adults,
or pets alone in your vehicle. They could
accidentally injure themselves or others
through inadvertent operation of the
vehicle. Further, on hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe and possibly fatal injuries to people
as well as animals.
Fuel-Injected Engines
When starting a fuel-injected engine, the most
important thing to remember is to avoid pressing
down on the accelerator before or during starting.
Only use the accelerator when you have problems
getting your vehicle started. See
Starting Your Engine
in this chapter for details about when to use the
accelerator while you start your vehicle.
Staring Your Vehicle
Preparing to Start Your Vehicle
/!\WARNING
Do not start your vehicle in a closed garage or
other enclosed area. Never sit in a stopped
vehicle for more than a short period of time
with the engine running. Exhaust fumes are
toxic. See
Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes
in this chapter for more instructions.
Before you start your vehicle, do the following:
1. Make sure you and all your passengers buckle
your safety belts. See Safety Restraints in the
Index for more details.
2. Make sure the headlamps and other accessories
are turned off when starting.
