Key Release Button
(MANUAL TRANSAXLE)
The ignition key cannot be removed
from the ignition unless the key release
button is used.
To Remove the Key:
Turn the key to the Off position. Press
the key release button while turning the
key from Off to
Lock.
Keeping your
finger on the button, pull the key
straight out.
Starting Your Engine
Follow the proper steps to start the
engine.
Automatic Transaxle:
Move your shift lever to
P
(Park) or N
(Neutral). Your engine won't start in
any other position - that's a safety
feature. To restart when you're already
moving, use N (Neutral) only.
NOTICE:
Don't try to shift to
P
(Park) if your
Chevrolet is moving. If you do, you
could damage the transaxle.
S h i f t
to
P
(Park) only when your vehicle
is stopped.
Manual Transaxle:
Hold the clutch pedal to the floor, then
shift your gear selector to N (Neutral)
while starting the engine. Your vehicle
won't start if the clutch pedal is not all
the way down - that's a safety feature.
To start
your
engine:
1.
Without pushing the accelerator
pedal, turn your ignition key to Start.
When the engine starts, let go of the
key. The idle speed will go down as
your engine gets warm.
NOTICE:
Holding your key in
Start
for longer
than 15 seconds at a time will cause
your battery to be drained much
sooner. And the excessive heat can
damage your starter motor.
2.
If your engine still won't start (or
starts but then stops), it could be
flooded with too much gasoline. Try
pushing your accelerator pedal all the
way to the floor and holding it there
as you hold the key in
Start
for about
three seconds. If the vehicle starts
briefly but then stops again, do the
same thing, but this time keep the
pedal down for five or six seconds.
This clears the extra gasoline from
the engine.
