STARTING
Positions of the ignition
1. Off — locks the automatic
transmission gearshift lever and
allows key removal.
Note:
In order
to switch off the engine while the
vehicle is in motion, shift to neutral
and use the brakes to bring the
vehicle to a safe stop. After the
vehicle has stopped, turn the engine
off and shift into park. Then, turn
the key to the accessory or off
position.
Note:
The ignition key cannot be removed from the ignition unless the
gearshift lever is securely latched in P (Park).
2. Accessory — allows the electrical accessories such as the radio to
operate while the engine is not running.
3. On — all electrical circuits operational. Warning lights illuminated. Key
position when driving.
4. Start — cranks the engine. Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.
Preparing to start your vehicle
Engine starting is controlled by the powertrain control system.
This system meets all Canadian interference-causing equipment standard
requirements regulating the impulse electrical field strength of radio
noise.
When starting a fuel-injected engine, don’t press the accelerator before
or during starting. Only use the accelerator when you have difficulty
starting the engine. For more information on starting the vehicle, refer to
Starting the engine
in this chapter.
WARNING:
Extended idling at high engine speeds can produce
very high temperatures in the engine and exhaust system,
creating the risk of fire or other damage.
