oPark Disabled” will be
displayed in the instrument cluster.

ALWAYS DO A VISUAL CHECK
that your vehicle

the parking brake when exiting the vehicle.
Extreme Cold Weather (Below –22°F Or
−30°C)
To ensure reliable starting at these
temperatures, use of an externally powered
electric engine block heater (available from
your authorized dealer) is recommended.
If Engine Fails To Start
If the engine fails to start after you have
followed the "Normal Starting" or "Extreme Cold
Weather" procedure, it may be flooded. Push
the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and
hold it there. Crank the engine for no more than
15 seconds. This should clear any excess fuel in
case the engine is flooded. Leave the ignition in
the RUN position, release the accelerator pedal
and repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure.
After Starting
The idle speed is controlled automatically, it will
decrease as the engine warms up.
WARNING!
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid
into the throttle body air inlet opening in an
attempt to start the vehicle. This could
result in flash fire causing serious personal
injury.
Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle
to get it started. Vehicles equipped with an
automatic transmission cannot be started
this way. Unburned fuel could enter the
catalytic converter and once the engine has
started, ignite and damage the converter
and vehicle.
If the vehicle has a discharged battery,
booster cables may be used to obtain a
start from a booster battery or the battery in
another vehicle. This type of start can be
dangerous if done improperly. Refer to
“Jump Starting Procedure” in “In Case Of
Emergency” for further information.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not
continuously crank the engine for more than
25 seconds at a time. Wait 60 seconds
before trying again.
