NOTICE:
Holding your key in START for longer than
15
seconds
at
a
time will cause your battery to
be drained much sooner. And the excessive heat
can damage your starter motor.

If
it
doesn’t start right away, hold your key in
START
for about three to five seconds at a time until
your engine starts. Wait about
15
seconds between
each try
to
help avoid draining your battery.
If your engine still won’t start (or starts but then stops),
it could be flooded with too much gasoline.
Try
pushing your accelerator pedal all the way to the floor
and holding it there
as
you hold the key in
START
for
about three seconds.
If
the vehicle starts briefly but
then stops again, do the same thing, but this time keep
the pedal down for five or six seconds. This clears the
extra gasoline from the engine. After waiting about
15
seconds, repeat the normal starting procedure.
NOTICE:
Your engine is designed
to
work with the
electronics in your vehicle.
If
you add electrical
parts or accessories, you could change the way
the engine operates. Before adding electrical
equipment, check with your dealer.
If
you
don’t,
your engine might not perform properly.
If
you ever have
to
have your vehicle towed, see
the part of this manual that tells how to do it
without damaging your vehicle. See “Towing
Your Vehicle’’ in the Index.
