Normal Starting

NOTE:

Normal starting of either a cold or a warm engine

is obtained without pumping or pressing the accelerator

pedal.
Cycle the ignition switch to the START position and

release when the engine starts. If the engine fails to start

within 10 seconds, cycle the ignition switch to the

LOCK/OFF position, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then repeat

the “Normal Starting” procedure.

Tip Start Feature — Automatic Transmission Only
Turn the ignition switch to the START position and

release it as soon as the starter engages. The starter motor

will continue to run, but will automatically disengage

itself when the engine is running. If the engine fails to

start, the starter will disengage automatically in 10 sec-

onds. If this occurs, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK

position, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then repeat the “Normal

Starting” procedure.

Extreme Cold Weather (Below –20°F Or −29°C)

To ensure reliable starting at these temperatures, use of

an externally powered electric engine block heater (avail-

able from your authorized dealer) is recommended.
