Clearing A Flooded Engine (Using ENGINE
START/STOP Button)
If the engine fails to start after you have followed the
"Normal Starting" or "Extreme Cold Weather" proce-
dures, it may be flooded. To clear any excess fuel:
1. Press and hold the brake pedal.
2. Press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor
and hold it.
3. Press and release the ENGINE START/STOP button
once.
The starter motor will engage automatically, run for 10
seconds, and then disengage. Once this occurs, release
the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal, wait 10 to 15
seconds, then repeat the "Normal Starting" proce-
dure.
AFTER STARTING
The idle speed is controlled automatically and it will
decrease as the engine warms up.
NORMAL STARTING – DIESEL ENGINE
Using The ENGINE START/STOP Button
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position by
pressing the ENGINE START/STOP button twice.
2. Watch the "Wait To Start Indicator Light" in the
instrument cluster. Refer to "Instrument Cluster" in
"Warning Lights And Messages" for further infor-
mation. It will illuminate for two to ten seconds or
more, depending on engine temperature. When the
"Wait To Start Indicator Light" goes out, the engine
is ready to start.
3. DO NOT press the accelerator. To start the engine,
the transmission must be in PARK or NEUTRAL.
Press the brake pedal (automatic transmission only)
or press and hold the clutch pedal (manual transmis-
sion only) while pressing and holding the ENGINE
START/STOP button. Release the button when the
engine starts.
NOTE:
The starter motor may need to remain
engaged for up to 30 seconds in very cold conditions
until the engine is started. If the vehicle does not start,
release the button. Wait for 25-30 seconds and then
try to start again.
