STARTING A GASOLINE
ENGINE

When the engine starts for the first time
on your drive, the idle speed increases, this
helps to warm up the engine. If the engine
idle speed does not slow down
automatically, have your vehicle checked
by an authorized dealer.

Note: You can crank the engine for a total
of 60 seconds (without the engine starting)
before the starting system temporarily
disables. The 60 seconds does not have to
be all at once. For example, if you crank the
engine three times for 20 seconds each
time, without the engine starting, you
reached the 60-second time limit. A
message appears in the information display
alerting you that you exceeded the cranking
time. You cannot attempt to start the engine
for at least 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, you
are limited to a 15-second engine cranking
time. You need to wait 60 minutes before
you can crank the engine for 60 seconds
again.

Before starting the vehicle, check the
following:

Make sure all occupants have fastened
their safety belts.

Make sure the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off.

Make sure the parking brake is on.

Move the transmission selector lever
to position P.

Turn the ignition key to position II. If
your vehicle is equipped with a keyless
ignition, see the following instructions.
