Starting a Cold and Warm Engine
With your foot off the accelerator pedal,
crank the engine by turning the ignition key
to "START". Release the key when the
engine starts.
CAUTION
• Stop turning the starter immedi-
ately after the engine has started or
the starter system can be dam-
aged.
• Do not crank the engine for more
than 15 seconds at a time. If the
engine doesn't start on the first try,
wait about 15 seconds before try-
ing again.
If the engine does not start after 15 sec-
onds of cranking, wait about 15 seconds,
then press down the accelerator pedal to
1/3 of its travel and try cranking the engine
again. Release the key and accelerator
pedal when the engine starts.
If the engine still does not start, try holding
the accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor while cranking. This should clear the
engine if it is flooded.
