In cold weather, turn off all
electrical accessories to reduce
the drain on the battery.
Make sure the shift lever is in
Park. Press on the brake pedal.
Turn the ignition key to the
START (III) position. Do not hold
the key in START (III) for more
than 15 seconds at a time. If the
engine does not start right away,
pause for at least 10 seconds
before trying again.
If the engine does not start within
15 seconds, or starts but stalls
right away, repeat step 4 with the
accelerator pedal pressed halfway
down. If the engine starts, release
pressure on the accelerator pedal
so the engine does not race.
If the engine fails to start, press
the accelerator pedal all the way
downandholdittherewhile
starting to clear flooding. Return
to step 5 if the engine does not
start.
In cold weather, conventional starter
is used instead of the IMA system
starter. This is normal.

vehicle from theft. If an improperly-
coded key (or other device) is used, the
engine’s fuel system is disabled. For

The engine is harder to start in cold

altitudes above 8,000 feet (2,400
meters) adds to this problem.
