Starting

Your

2.4

Liter Engine

1.

With your foot

off

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 warms

up.

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.

2.

If

the engine doesn’t start right away, and if

the

weather is very cold (below

-20”

F

or

-29”

C),

push

the accelerator pedal about one-quarter

of

the way

down while

you

turn

the key to

START.

Do

this

until the engine starts.

As

soon as it does, let go

of

the key.

3.

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

a

maximurn

of

15

seconds.

This

clears the extra

gasoline

from

the

engine.

If

the engine

still

won’t

start

or

starts

briefly but

then

stops again, repeat step

1

or

2,

depending on temperature. When the engine

starts,

release the key and the accelerator

pedal.

NOTICE:

1

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.

If

you ever have to have your vehicle towed, see

the part

of

this manual that tells how to do it

without damaging your vehicle. See “Towing.

Your Vehicle” in the Index.
