When starting your engine in very cold weather (below
0°F
or
-18"C),
do this:
1.
With your foot
off
the accelerator pedal, turn the
ignition key to START and hold it there up to
75
seconds. When the engine starts, let
go
of
the key.
2. 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. When the engine
starts, let
go
of the key and accelerator. 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.
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.
Adjustable Throttle and Brake Pedal
If
your vehicle is equipped with this feature, you can
change the position of the throttle and brake pedals.
This
feature
is
designed for shorter drivers,
since
the pedals can not move farther away from the standard
position, but can move forward for better pedal reach.
The vehicle must be in PARK
(P)
for this feature to
operate.
The switch used to adjust
the pedals is located on
the driver's side door
panel.
Press the arrow at the end of the switch closest to you
to move the pedals closer to your body. Press the
arrow at the far end of the switch to move the pedals
away from your body.
