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 Cadillac
is
moving. If you do, you could damage the
transaxle. 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 for about three seconds at a time until your
engine
starts.
Wait about
15
seconds between each
try
to help avoid draining your battery.
3.
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.
