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. When the
engine starts, let
go
of
the key. Use the accelerator
pedal to maintain engine speed, if you have to, until
your engine has run
for
a while.
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.
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.
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.
