Starting - Lincoln Town Car 1998 Owner's Manual

Starting

PREPARING TO START YOUR
VEHICLE
Engine starting is controlled by the
ignition system. This system meets
all Canadian Interference-Causing
Equipment standard requirements
regulating the impulse electrical
field strength of radio noise.
When starting a fuel-injected
engine, avoid pressing the
accelerator before or during
starting. Only use the accelerator
when you have difficulty starting
the engine. For more information
on starting the vehicle, refer to
Starting the engine in this
chapter.
Extended idling at high
engine speeds can produce
very high temperatures in the
engine and exhaust system,
creating the risk of fire or other
damage.
Do not park, idle, or drive
your vehicle in dry grass
or other dry ground cover. The
emission system heats up the
engine compartment and exhaust
system, which can start a fire.
