3. Tilt the steering wheel to the full up position.

6. Move the gear selector to the NEUTRAL
position.
7. The vehicle may then be started in
NEUTRAL.
CAUTION!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power
outlets draw power from the vehicle’s battery,
even when not in use (i.e., cellular devices,
etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long enough
without engine operation, the vehicle’s
battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the engine from
starting.
