Normal Starting
Normal starting of either a warm or cold engine is
obtained without pumping or depressing the accelerator
pedal. Turn the key to the START position and release
when the engine starts. If the engine fails to start within
10 seconds, turn the key to the OFF position, wait 5
seconds, then repeat the starting procedure.

NOTE:

This vehicle is equipped with a transmission

shift interlocking system. The brake pedal must be
depressed to shift out of Park (P).

Tip Start Feature — Automatic Transmission Only
Do not

press the accelerator. Turn the ignition key briefly

to START position, and release it. The starter motor will
continue to run, but will automatically disengage itself
when the engine is running.

If Engine Fails To Start
If the engine fails to start after you have followed the
normal starting procedure, it may be flooded. Push the
accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there
while cranking the engine. This should clear any excess
fuel in case the engine is flooded.
