feature. To restart when you're
already moving, use
N (Neutral) only.
Do not try to shift to P (Park) if
your vehicle is moving. If you
do, you could damage the
transmission. Shift to P (Park)
only when your vehicle is
stopped.
2. Do not push the accelerator
pedal before starting your
engine. In some other vehicles
you might need to do this, but
because of your vehicle's
computer systems, you do not
need to.
3. 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.
4. If it does not start right away,
hold your key in START. If it
doesn't start in 3 seconds,
push the accelerator pedal
about one-quarter of the way
down for 12 more seconds,
or until it starts.
5. If your engine still will not start
(or starts but then stops), it
could be flooded with too much
gasoline. Try this: Wait 20 to
30 seconds to let the starter
motor cool down. Then push
your accelerator pedal all the
way to the floor. Hold it there.
Then, hold the key in START
for no more than 10 seconds.
This clears the extra gasoline
from the engine.
If the engine still does not start, wait
another 20 to 30 seconds and do
Step 5 again.
Hot Engine Restart
If your engine is already hot and
then stalls, turn your ignition key to
ACC. Then, turn your key to ON,
and wait about 20 to 30 seconds
before you restart your engine.
When the engine starts, let go of the
key and the accelerator pedal.
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 fuel injection system
operates. Before adding electrical
equipment, check with your dealer.
If you do not, 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
the Vehicle 0 315.
Recommendations for Warming
Up the Engine
The engine is sufficiently warmed
up when the needle of the engine
coolant temperature gauge starts
to move.
Do not race the engine or
quickly accelerate before the
engine has sufficiently warmed
up. Oil would not have
adequately reached and
lubricated components, and a
breakdown may result.
The exhaust pipe becomes
extremely hot while the engine is
idling. Before warming up the
engine, make sure there is no
