WARNING!

Never pour fuel or other flammable liquids into the

throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start

the vehicle. This could result in a flash fire causing

serious personal injury.

Extreme Cold Weather (below –20°F (–29°C)

To insure reliable starting at these temperatures, use of an

externally powered electric engine block heater (available

from your authorized dealer) is recommended.

If Engine Fails to Start

If the engine fails to start after you have followed the

“Normal Starting” or “Extreme Cold Weather” proce-

dures, 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.

NOTE: 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 accel-

erator 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 accelerator pedal

held to the floor, the “Normal Starting” or “Extreme Cold

Weather” procedures should be repeated.
