Starting the engine

1. Turn the key to 3 (ON).

2. Press the red START ENGINE
button on the instrument panel,
then release the button as soon as
the engine starts. Excessive
cranking could damage the starter.

Note: If the engine does not start within five seconds on the first try,
turn the key to 1 (OFF/LOCK), wait 10 seconds and try again. If the
engine still fails to start, press the accelerator to the floor and try again;
this will allow the engine to crank with the fuel shut off in case the
engine is flooded with fuel.

Guarding against exhaust fumes

Carbon monoxide is present in exhaust fumes. Take precautions to avoid
its dangerous effects.

If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have your dealer
inspect your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you smell

exhaust fumes.

Important ventilating information

If the engine is idling while the vehicle is stopped for a long period of
time, open the windows at least one inch (2.5 cm) or adjust the heating
or air conditioning to bring in fresh air.
