Turn the key to 4 (ON) without
turning the key to 5 (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
Note:
Whenever you start your vehicle, release the key as soon as the
engine starts. Excessive cranking could damage the starter.
1. Turn the key to 5 (START)
without pressing the accelerator
pedal and release as soon as the
engine starts. The key will return to
4 (RUN).
Note:
If the engine does not start
within five seconds on the first try,
turn the key to 3 (OFF), wait 10
seconds and try again. If engine still fails to start, press 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.
2. When the engine starts, release the key, then release the accelerator
pedal gradually as the engine speeds up.
3. After idling for a few seconds, apply the brake, shift into gear and
drive.
Guarding against exhaust fumes
Carbon monoxide is present in exhaust fumes. Take precautions to avoid
its dangerous effects.
If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have your dealer
inspect your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you smell
exhaust fumes.
