WARNING! (Continued)

Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it

started. Vehicles equipped with an automatic trans-
mission cannot be started this way. Unburned fuel
could enter the catalytic converter and once the
engine has started, ignite and damage the converter
and vehicle.

If the vehicle has a discharged battery, booster

cables may be used to obtain a start from a booster
battery or the battery in another vehicle. This type
of start can be dangerous if done improperly. Refer
to “Jump Starting” in “What To Do In Emergen-
cies” for further information.

Clearing A Flooded Engine (Using ENGINE

2. Press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and

hold it.

3. Press and release the ENGINE START/STOP button

once.

The starter motor will engage automatically, run for 10 sec-
onds, and then disengage. Once this occurs, release the
accelerator pedal and the brake pedal, wait 10 to 15 sec-
onds, then repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure.
