Starting Your
1.6
Liter Engine
1.
Without pushing the accelerator pedal, turn
your
ignition key to
START.
When the engine starts, let
go
of
the key.
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.
If
your
engine
still
won’t
start, call your dealer for help.
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.
If
you ever have to have your vehicle towed, see
the part of this manual that tells how to do it
without damaging your vehicle. See “Towing
Your Vehicle” in the Index.
