Starting Your Engine
Automatic transmission:
NOTICE:
If
your key seems stuck in
LOCK
and you can’t
turn
it,
be sure it
is
all the
way
in. If it is, then
turn the steering wheel left and right while you
turn the key hard. But turn the key only with
your hand. Using
a
tool to force
it
could break
the key or the ignition switch.
If
none
of
this
works, then your vehicle needs service.
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 Geo
is
moving.
If
you
do,
you could damage the
transmission. Shift to
PARK (P)
only when your
vehicle is stopped.
Manual transmission:
The gear selector should be in neutral. Hold the clutch
pedal to the floor and start the engine. Your vehicle
won’t start
if
the clutch pedal is not all the way
down
--
that’s
a
safety feature.
