WARNING!

Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it
started. Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic con-
verter 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 another vehicle. This type of start
can be dangerous if done improperly, so follow the
procedure carefully. Refer to “Jump Starting” in
“What To Do In Emergencies” for further informa-
tion.

Automatic Transmission – If Equipped

The shift lever must be in the NEUTRAL or PARK
position before you can start the engine. Apply the brakes
before shifting into any driving gear.

CAUTION!

Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow-
ing precautions are not observed:
Shift into PARK only after the vehicle has come to

a complete stop.

Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the

vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine
is at idle speed.

Do not shift from REVERSE, PARK, or NEUTRAL

into any forward gear when the engine is above
idle speed.

Before shifting into any gear, make sure your foot

is firmly on the brake pedal.
