STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Turn the key to 4 (START)

without pressing the accelerator

pedal and release as soon as the

engine starts. The key will return

to 3 (ON).

2. If the engine does not start

within five seconds, wait ten

seconds and try again.

3. If the engine does not start in

two attempts OR if the

temperature is below -12°C (10°F),

depress the accelerator and start

the engine while holding the

accelerator down. Release the

accelerator when the engine starts.

4. After idling for a few seconds,

apply the brake and release the

parking brake.

Using the engine block heater

(if equipped)

An engine block heater warms the

engine coolant, which improves

starting, warms up the engine

faster and allows the

heater-defroster system to respond

quickly. They are strongly

recommended if you live in a

region where temperatures reach

-23°C (-10°F) or below.
