up the engine. If the engine idle speed does not slow down automatically,
have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.

Before starting the engine:

• 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 the on position.
