Engine Starting Problems
Failure to Start
If the engine doesn’t start right
away, wait about 10 seconds, then
try again.
If the engine starts, let it warm up
before you drive. Do not race the
engine when it is cold.
If the engine still won't start, it
could be flooded with too much
gasoline.
Engine Flooding
If the engine is flooded with too
much gasoline, push the accelera-
tor pedal all the way to the floor
and hold it there as you hold the
key in the Start position for up to
15 seconds. This clears the extra
gasoline from the engine.

TRANSMISSION
Automatic Transmission
(If equipped)
NOTICE
holding the vehicle in one place
on a hill using only the acceler-
ator pedal may damage the
transmission.
If the vehicle gets stuck do not
spin the wheels too fast.
When stopped during an uphill
climb, hold the vehicle in place
using the brakes.
CAUTION
Do not shift out of
P
(Park) or
N
(Neutral) with the engine
racing.
You could lose control of the
vehicle and you or others may
be injured.
Also, the transmission could be
damaged.
Shifting into a drive gear while
the engine is racing is danger-
ous. Keep your foot on the
brake pedal and off the acceler-
ator pedal. After shifting, wait a
while, then release the brake
pedal slowly. This will prevent
any unexpected rapid accelera-
tion.
