Starting Your Engine

Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).

Your engine won’t start in any other position

-- that’s a

safety feature. To restart when you’re already moving,

use NEUTRAL (N) only.

NOTICE:

Don’t try to shift to PARK (P) if your vehicle is

moving. If you do, you could damage the

transaxle. Shift to PARK (P) only when your

vehicle is stopped.

1. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, turn your

ignition key to START. When the engine starts, let

go of the key. The idle speed will go down as your

engine warms up.

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. Wait about

15 seconds between each try to help avoid

draining your battery or damaging your starter.

2. If the engine doesn’t start in 10 seconds, push the

accelerator pedal about one

-quarter of the way down

while you turn the key to START. Do this until the

engine starts. As soon as it does, let go of the key.
