262 STARTING AND OPERATING
Normal Starting — Gasoline Engine
NOTE:
Normal starting of either a cold or a warm engine is obtained
without pumping or pushing the accelerator pedal.
Press the brake pedal and place the ignition in the START
mode and release when the engine starts. If the engine fails
to start within 10 seconds:
1. Place the ignition in the OFF mode.
2. Wait 10 to 15 seconds.
3. Repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure.
NOTE:
Only press one pedal at a time while driving the vehicle.
Torque performance of the vehicle could be reduced if both
pedals are pressed at the same time. If pressure is detected on
both pedals simultaneously, a warning message will display
in the instrument cluster. For further information, refer to
“Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel”.
Tip Start Feature
Place the ignition in the START mode and release it as the
starter engages. The starter motor will automatically disen-
gage itself once engine is running. If the engine fails to start,
the starter will disengage automatically in 10 seconds. If this
occurs:
1. Place the ignition in the OFF mode.
2. Wait 10 to 15 seconds.
3. Repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure.
Extreme Cold Weather (Below –20°F Or −29°C)
To ensure reliable starting at these temperatures, use of an
externally powered electric engine block heater (available
from an authorized dealer) is recommended.
Extended Park Starting
NOTE:
Extended Park condition occurs when the vehicle has not
been started or driven for at least 30 days.
1. Install a battery charger or jumper cables to the battery to
ensure a full battery charge during the crank cycle.
2. Place the ignition in the START mode and release it when
the engine starts.
