adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and
fasten your seat belts.
WARNING!
• When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key fob from the ignition and lock your
vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allow-
ing children to be in a vehicle unattended
is dangerous for a number of reasons. A
child or others could be seriously or fatally
injured. Children should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the
shift lever.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle (or in a location accessible to chil-
dren), and do not leave Keyless Enter-N-

Manual Transmission – If Equipped
Apply the parking brake, place the shift lever in
NEUTRAL and press the clutch pedal before
starting the vehicle. This vehicle is equipped
with a clutch interlocking ignition system. It will
not start unless the clutch pedal is pressed to
the floor.
4WD Models Only
In 4L mode, this vehicle will start regardless of
whether or not the clutch pedal is pressed to the
floor. This feature enhances off-road perfor-
mance by allowing the vehicle to start when in
4L without having to press the clutch pedal. The
"4WD Indicator Light" will illuminate when the
transfer case has been shifted into this mode.
Automatic Transmission – If
Equipped
Start the engine with the shift lever in the
NEUTRAL or PARK position. Apply the brake
before shifting to any driving range.
Normal Starting – Gasoline Engine
NOTE:
Normal starting of either a cold or a warm
engine is obtained without pumping or
pressing the accelerator pedal.
Turn the ignition switch to the START position
and release when the engine starts. If the
engine fails to start within 10 seconds, turn the
ignition switch to the LOCK position, wait 10 to
15 seconds, then repeat the "Normal Starting"
procedure.
Tip Start Feature – Automatic Transmission
Only
Turn the ignition switch to the START position
and release it as soon as the starter engages.
The starter motor will continue to run, but will
automatically disengage itself when the engine
is running. If the engine fails to start, the starter
will disengage automatically in 10 seconds. If
this occurs, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK
position, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then repeat the
"Normal Starting" procedure.
