Starting the engine

Note: If your vehicle is equipped with a push button start system, refer
to Push button start system in this section for starting.

1. Turn the key to 3 (on) without
turning the key to 4 (start).

2. Turn the key to 4 (start), then
release the key as soon as the
engine begins cranking. Your vehicle
has a computer assisted cranking
system that assists in starting the
engine. After releasing the key from
the 4 (start) position, the engine may continue cranking for up to
10 seconds or until the vehicle starts.

Note: Cranking may be stopped at any time by turning the key to the off
position.

3. After idling for a few seconds, release the parking brake, apply the
brake, shift into gear and drive.

Note: If the engine does not start on the first try, turn the vehicle to the
off position, wait 10 seconds and try Step 2 again. If the engine still fails
to start, press the accelerator to the floor and try Step 2 again, keeping
the accelerator on the floor until the engine begins to accelerate above
cranking speeds; this will allow the engine to crank with the fuel shut off
in case the engine is flooded with fuel.
