2. Manual Transaxle - Depress the
clutch pedal fully and shift the
transaxle into NEUTRAL. Keep the
clutch pedal depressed while
cranking the engine.
(For safety, the engine will not start if
the clutch pedal is not depressed fully
on manual transaxle equipped
models.)

transaxle shift lever in P (Park).
Depress the brake pedal fully.
You can also start the engine if the

and hold it until the engine starts (a
maximum of 10 seconds), then
release the key.
In extremely cold weather, below 0ºF
(minus 18ºC), or after the vehicle has not
been operated for several days, let it
warm up without depressing the
accelerator.
Whether the engine is cold or warm, it
should be started without depressing the
accelerator. If the engine fails to start using this
procedure, attempt the following.
The engine fails to start when the engine
is cold (engine coolant temperature is
below 32ºF/0ºC):
A no start condition may be caused by an
engine that has become flooded (has
excessive fuel in the cylinders). If this is
the case, follow the starting procedure
below.
