• Turn the key to 4 (on) without

turning the key to 5 (start).

Some warning lights will briefly illuminate. See Warning lights and

chimes in the Instrument Cluster chapter for more information

regarding the warning lights.

Starting the engine

1. Turn the key to 4 (on) without

turning the key to 5 (start).

2. Turn the key to 5 (start), then

release the key as soon as the

engine starts. Excessive cranking

could damage the starter.

Note: If the engine does not start within five seconds on the first try,

turn the key to 3 (off), wait 10 seconds and try again. If the engine still

fails to start, press the accelerator to the floor and try again; this will

allow the engine to crank with the fuel shut off in case the engine is

flooded with fuel.

Cold weather starting (flexible fuel vehicles only)

The starting characteristics of all grades of E

ethanol make it

unsuitable for use when ambient temperatures fall below 0°F (-18°C).

Consult your fuel distributor for the availability of winter grade ethanol.

As the outside temperature approaches freezing, ethanol fuel distributors

should supply winter grade ethanol (same as with unleaded gasoline). If

summer grade ethanol is used in cold weather conditions, 0°F to 32°F

(-18°C to 0°C), you may experience increased cranking times, rough idle

or hesitation until the engine has warmed up.
