This model is equipped with an electronically
controlled fuel injection system. This is a sys-
tem that automatically controls fuel injection.
There is usually no need to depress the accel-
erator pedal when starting the engine.
The starter should not be run for more than
15 seconds at a time.
To prevent battery drain, wait a few seconds
between attempts to restart the engine.
1. Make sure all occupants are properly
seated with seat belts fastened.
2. Insert the ignition key.
3. Press and hold the brake pedal down
firmly with your right foot.
4. Make sure the selector lever is in the “P”
(PARK) position.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi-
tion and make certain that all warning
lights are functioning properly before
starting the engine.
6. Turn the ignition switch to the “START”
position without pressing the accelerator
pedal. Release the ignition switch when
the engine starts.
After several attempts, you may experience
that the engine still does not start.
1. Make sure that all electric devices, such
as lights, air conditioning blower and rear
window defogger, are turned off.
2. While depressing the brake pedal, press
the accelerator pedal halfway and hold it
there, then crank the engine. Release the
accelerator pedal, immediately after the
engine starts.
3. If the engine still will not start, the engine
could be flooded with too much gasoline.
While depressing the brake pedal, push
the accelerator pedal all the way down
and hold it there, then crank the engine for
5 to 6 seconds. Return the ignition switch
to the “OFF” and release the accelerator
pedal. Wait a few seconds, and then crank
the engine again for 5 to 6 seconds while
depressing the brake pedal, but do not
push the accelerator pedal. Release the
ignition switch if the engine starts. If the
