2. If it doesn’t start within 10 seconds, push the

accelerator pedal all the way to the floor, while you

hold the ignition key in START. When the engine

starts, let go of the key and let up on the accelerator

pedal. Wait about 15 seconds between each try.

When starting your engine in very cold weather

(below 0 F or

-18 C), do this:

1. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, turn the

ignition key to START and hold it there. When the

engine starts, let go of the key. Use the accelerator

pedal to maintain engine speed, if you have to, until

your engine has run for a while.

2. If your engine still won’t start (or starts but then stops),

it could be flooded with too much gasoline. Try pushing

your accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and

holding it there as you hold the key in START for about

three seconds. When the engine starts, let go of the key

and accelerator. If the vehicle starts briefly but then

stops again, do the same thing, but this time keep the

pedal down for five or six seconds. This clears the extra

gasoline from the engine.

NOTICE:

Your engine is designed to work with the

electronics in your vehicle. If you add electrical

parts or accessories, you could change the way

the engine operates. Before adding electrical

equipment, check with your dealer. If you don’t,

your engine might not perform properly.

Starter Interlock Feature

For your convenience and to avoid damage to your

starter, your vehicle is equipped with a starter interlock

feature. This feature will not allow you to crank the

engine when the vehicle is already running.
