Fuel-Injected Engines; Starting Your Vehicle; Preparing To Start Your Vehicle - Ford Ranger Owner's Manual

Always set the parking brake fully and make sure that
the gearshift is latched in P (Park) (automatic
transmission) or 1 (First) (manual transmission).
Do not leave children, unreliable adults, or pets alone in
your vehicle. They could accidentally injure themselves
or others through inadvertent operation of the vehicle.
Further, on hot, sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high enough to cause
severe and possibly fatal injuries to people as well as
animals.

Fuel-Injected Engines

When starting a fuel-injected engine, the most important thing
to remember is to avoid pressing down on the accelerator
before or during starting. Only use the accelerator when you
have problems getting your vehicle started. See Starting Your
Engine in this chapter for details about when to use the
accelerator while you start your vehicle.

Starting Your Vehicle

Preparing to Start Your Vehicle

Do not start your vehicle in a closed garage or other
enclosed area. Never sit in a stopped vehicle for more
than a short period of time with the engine running.
Exhaust fumes are toxic. See Guarding Against Exhaust
Fumes in this chapter for more instructions.
