a safety feature. To restart when you’re already moving,
use NEUTRAL (N) only.

is moving. If you do, you could damage the
transaxle. Shift to PARK (P) only when your
vehicle is stopped.

parking brake engaged. Hold the clutch pedal to the floor
and start the engine. Your vehicle won’t start if the clutch
pedal is not all the way down

Starting Your 1.8 Liter L4 Engine
1. Without pushing the accelerator pedal, turn your
ignition key to START. When the engine starts,
let go of the key. The idle speed will go down as
your engine gets warm.
NOTICE:
Holding your key in START for longer than
15 seconds at a time will cause your battery to
be drained much sooner. And the excessive heat
can damage your starter motor. Wait about
15 seconds between each try to help avoid
draining your battery or damaging your starter.
