Starting the Engine

Starting in Cold Weather at High

Altitude (Above 8,000 feet/

2,400 meters)

An engine is harder to start in cold

weather. The thinner air found at

high altitude above 8,000 feet (2,400

meters) adds to the problem.

Use the following procedure:

1. Turn off all electrical accessories

to reduce the drain on the battery.

2. Push the accelerator pedal half-

way to the floor and hold it there

while starting the engine. Do not

hold the ignition key in START

(III) for more than 15 seconds.

When the engine starts, release

the accelerator pedal gradually as

the engine speeds up and smooths

out.

3. If the engine fails to start in step 2,

push the accelerator pedal to the

floor and hold it there while you

try to start the engine for no more

than 15 seconds. If the engine

does not start, return to step 2.
