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.
1.
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.
