Features & Controls
Manual Transmission: Shift your gear
selector to neutral and hold the clutch
pedal to the floor while starting the
engine. Your vehicle won't start
if
the
clutch pedal
is
not all the way down
-
that's a safety feature.
To start your V6 engine:
1. Don't 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 don't.
2. 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:
3.
If your engine won't start (or starts but
then stops),
it
could be flooded with
too much gasoline. Try pushing your
accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor and holding
it
there as you hold
the key in Start for about three
seconds. If the vehicle starts briefly
but then stops again, do the same
thing, but this time keep the pedal
down for five or six seconds. This
clears the extra gasoline from the
engine.
