Manual Transmission
The gear selector should be in NEUTRAL (N). Hold
the clutch pedal to the
floor
and start the engine. Your
vehicle won't start if the clutch pedal is not all the way
down -- that's a safety feature.
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 it doesn't start right away, hold your key in
START. If it doesn't start in 10 seconds, push the
accelerator pedal all the way down for five more
seconds, or until
it
starts.
3. If your engine still won't start (or starts but then
stops);wait 15 seconds and start over.
When the engine starts, let
go of the
key and the
accelerator pedal.
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.
