STARTING THE ENGINE — GAS
Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust
both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat
belts.
WARNING!
When exiting the vehicle, always remove the key
fob from the vehicle and lock your vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or oth-
ers could be seriously or fatally injured. Children
should be warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the transmission gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or
in a location accessible to children, and do not
leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Key-
less Enter 'n Go™ in the ON/RUN position. A child
could operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals inside parked
vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat buildup may
cause serious injury or death.
Start the engine with the gear selector in the NEUTRAL
or PARK position. Apply the brake before shifting to any
driving range.

release when the engine starts. If the engine fails to

"Normal Starting" procedure.
Tip Start Feature
Place the ignition switch in the START position and
release it as soon as the starter engages. The starter
motor will continue to run, and will automatically disen-
gage itself when the engine is running. If the engine

tion, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then repeat the "Normal

The gear selector must be in the NEUTRAL or PARK

Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow-
ing precautions are not observed:
Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL,
or DRIVE when the engine is above idle speed.
Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE only after the
