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 up to

15 seconds. When the engine starts, let go of

the key.

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.
