For a warm engine:
Do not hold the key in the START position for more than
five (5) seconds at a time. If the engine does not start within
five (5) seconds on the first try, turn the key to the OFF
position. Wait a few seconds after the starter stops, then try
again.
Whenever you start your vehicle, release the key as soon as the
engine starts. Excessive cranking could damage the starter or
flood the engine.
After you start the engine, let it idle for a few seconds. Keep
your foot on the brake pedal and release the parking brake.
Put the gearshift lever in gear, slowly release the brake pedal
and drive away in the normal manner.
NOTE: Your vehicle has an interlock that prevents you from
shifting out of Park (P) unless your foot is on the
brake pedal.
If the engine does not start after two attempts:
Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
1.
Press the accelerator all the way to the floor and hold it.
2.
Turn the ignition key to the START position.
3.
Release the ignition key when the engine starts.
4.
Release the accelerator gradually as the engine speeds up.
5.
Then drive away in the normal manner.
If the engine still does not start, the fuel pump shut-off switch
may have been triggered. For directions on how to reset the
switch see Fuel Pump Shut-Off Switch later in this chapter.
