STARTING PROCEDURE

Start the engine with the selector lever in the N (Neutral)

or P (Park) position. Apply the brake before shifting to

any driving range.

Normal Starting — Gasoline Engines

Do not press the accelerator. Turn the ignition key briefly

to START position, and release it. The starter motor will

continue to run, but will automatically disengage itself

when the engine is running.

NOTE: The starter motor may run up to 30 seconds in

very cold conditions until the engine is started. The

starter can be disengaged by turning the ignition key to

the OFF position, if required.

If Engine Fails to Start

If the engine fails to start after you have followed the

normal starting procedure, 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.
