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.

Using the engine block heater (if equipped)

An engine block heater warms the engine coolant

which aids in starting and heater/defroster

performance. Use of an engine block heater is

strongly recommended if you live in a region where

temperatures reach -23° C (-10° F) or below. For

best results, plug the heater in at least three hours

before starting the vehicle. The heater can be

plugged in the night before starting the vehicle.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not

use your heater with ungrounded electrical

systems or two-pronged (cheater) adapters.

Guarding against exhaust fumes

Carbon monoxide is present in exhaust fumes. Take

precautions to avoid its dangerous effects.

If you smell exhaust fumes inside your

vehicle, have your dealer inspect your

vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you smell

exhaust fumes.
