Caution
If the steering wheel is turned
until it reaches the end of its
travel, and is held in that position
while starting the vehicle, damage
may occur to the hydraulic power
steering system and there may be
loss of power steering assist.
Automatic Transmission
Move the shift lever to P (Park) or
N (Neutral). To restart the vehicle
when it is already moving, use
N (Neutral) only.
Caution
Do not try to shift to P (Park) if
the vehicle is moving. If you do,
you could damage the
transmission. Shift to P (Park)
only when the vehicle is stopped.

The shift lever should be in Neutral
and the parking brake engaged.
Hold the clutch pedal down to the
floor and start the engine.

hold the key in START for a
maximum of 15 seconds. Wait at
least 15 seconds between each
attempt, to allow the starter
motor to cool. When the engine
starts, let go of the key and
accelerator. If the vehicle starts
