STARTING A GASOLINE ENGINE

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 check the following:
• Make sure all occupants have fastened their safety belts.
• Make sure the headlamps and electrical accessories are off.

• Move the transmission selector lever to position P (automatic
transmission) or neutral (manual transmission).
• Turn the ignition key to position II. If your vehicle is equipped with a
keyless ignition, see the following instructions.
