STARTING AND OPERATING
STARTING THE ENGINE
Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat,
adjust the inside and outside mirrors, fasten your
seat belt, and if present, instruct all other
occupants to buckle their seat belts.
Start the engine with the gear selector in the
NEUTRA
L or PARK position. Apply the brake before
shifting to any driving range.
Normal Starting
NOTE:
Normal starting of either a cold or warm engine is
obtaine
d without pumping or pressing the accel-
erator pedal.
Proceed as follows:
1. S
et the Electric Park Brake (EPB) and put the
gear selector in the PARK or NEUTRAL
position.
2. Press on the brake pedal, without pressing the
accel
erator.
3. Press the START/STOP ignition button and
release it as soon as the engine is started.
4. If the engine does not start, place the ignition
in the OFF position and wait 10-15 seconds
before attempting to restart the engine.
TIP START FEATURE
Do not press the accelerator. Press briefly the
START/STOP ignition button and release it. The
starter motor will continue to run but will
automatically disengage when the engine is
running.
IF ENGINE FAILS TO START
If the engine fails to start after you have followed
the “Normal Starting” procedure, and has not
experienced an extended park condition as
identified in “Extended Park Starting” procedure
below, 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 10 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.
WARNING!
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended
is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child
or others could be seriously or fatally injured.
Children should be warned not to touch the
parking brake, brake pedal or the gear
selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle
(or in a location accessible to children), and do
not leave the ignition in the ON or RUN posi
-
tion. A child could operate power windows,
other c
ontrols, or move the vehicle.
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.
