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
transmission. Shift to
PARK (P)
only when your
vehicle
is
stopped.

Without pushing 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 gets warm.
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.
2.
If it doesn’t start right away, hold your key in
START. If it doesn’t start in
10
seconds, push the
accelerator pedal all the way down for five more
seconds, or until it starts.
