WARNING! (Continued)
• Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle
to get it started. Vehicles equipped with an
automatic transmission cannot be started
this way. Unburned fuel could enter the
catalytic converter and, once the engine
has started, ignite and damage the con-
verter and vehicle. If the vehicle has a
discharged battery, booster cables may be
used to obtain a start from a booster battery
or the battery in another vehicle. This type
of start can be dangerous if done improp-
erly. Refer to "Jump Starting" in "What to
Do In Emergencies" for further information.
Without Tip Start – Manual Transmission
Only
If the engine fails to start after you have fol-
lowed the "Normal Starting" procedure, it may
be flooded. Push the accelerator pedal all the
way to the floor and hold it there while cranking
the engine. This should clear any excess fuel in
case the engine is flooded.
180
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not crank
the engine for more than 15 seconds at a
time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds before trying
again.
If the engine has been flooded, it may start to
run, but not have enough power to continue
running when the key is released. If this occurs,
continue cranking with the accelerator pedal
pushed all the way to the floor. Release the
accelerator pedal and the key once the engine
is running smoothly.
If the engine shows no sign of starting after two
15–second periods of cranking with the accel-
erator pedal held to the floor, repeat the "Nor-
mal Starting" procedure.
With Tip Start – Automatic Transmission
Only
If the engine fails to start after you have fol-
lowed the "Normal Starting" procedure, it may
be flooded. To clear any excess fuel, push the
accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and
hold it. Then, turn the ignition switch to the
START position and release it as soon as the
starter engages. The starter motor will disen-
gage automatically in 10 seconds. Once this
occurs, release the accelerator pedal, turn the
ignition switch to the LOCK position, wait 10 to
15 seconds, then repeat the "Normal Starting"
procedure.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, wait 10 to
15 seconds before trying again.

After Starting

The idle speed will automatically decrease as
the engine warms up.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER — IF
EQUIPPED
The engine block heater warms the engine,
and permits quicker starts in cold weather.
Connect the cord to a standard 110-115 Volt
AC electrical outlet with a grounded, three-wire
extension cord.
The engine block heater cord is found under
the hood bundled in front of the battery tray.
