Chevrolet 1998 Tracker Owner's Manual page 69

Starting Your 1.6 Liter Engine
1.
Without pushing
the
accelerator pedal, turn
your
ignition key to
START.
When the engine starts, let
go of the key.
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 it doesn't start right away, hold your key in
START for about
three
seconds at a time until your
engine starts. Wait about 15 seconds between each
try to help avoid draining your battery.
If your engine still won't start, call your dealer for help.
NOTICE:
Your engine is designed to work with the
electronics in your vehicle. If you add electrical
parts or accessories, you could change the way
the engine operates. Before adding electrical
equipment, check with your dealer.
If
you don't,
your engine might not perform properly.
If you ever have to have your vehicle towed, see
the part of this manual that tells how to do it
without damaging your vehicle. See "Towing
Your Vehicle" in the Index.
