Follow the steps in the “Normal Starting” procedure
except:
1. Pushing the engine start button with the driver’s foot
on the brake will move the ignition from OFF or ACC
to RUN, and will illuminate the #Wait To Start# telltale.
The engine will not immediately crank, this is normal
operation.
2. The “Wait To Start# telltale will remain on for a period
of time that varies depending on the engine tempera-
ture.
3. While the #Wait to Start# telltale is on, the EVIC will
additionally display a gauge or bar whose initial
length represents the full #Wait to Start# time period.
Its length will decrease until it disappears when the
#Wait to Start# time has elapsed.
CAUTION!
If the “Water in Fuel Indicator Light” remains on, DO
NOT START engine before you drain the water from
the fuel filters to avoid engine damage. Refer to
“Maintenance Procedures/Draining Fuel/Water Sepa-
rator Filter” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for fur-
ther information.
4. After the engine “Wait To Start” telltale goes off, the
engine will automatically crank.
CAUTION!
The engine may automatically crank when the “Wait
To Start” time has elapsed. To abort the automatic
starting process, ensure the driver’s foot is fully
removed from the brake pedal prior to pushing the
START/STOP button to cycle the ignition off.
