Clearing A Flooded Engine (Using Fob With
Integrated Key)
If the engine fails to start after you have followed the

“Normal Starting” or “Extreme Cold Weather” proce-

dures, it may be flooded. To clear any excess fuel:
1. Press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and

hold it.

2. Place the ignition in the START position and release it

as soon as the starter engages.

The starter motor will disengage automatically in 10

seconds. Once this occurs, release the accelerator pedal,

turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position, wait 10 to

15 seconds, then repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure.

CAUTION!

To prevent damage to the starter, wait 10 to 15

seconds before trying again.

After Starting

The idle speed is controlled automatically and it will

decrease as the engine warms up.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER — IF EQUIPPED

The engine block heater warms the engine, and permits

quicker starts in cold weather. Connect the cord to a

standard 110-115 Volt AC electrical outlet with a

grounded, three-wire extension cord.
The engine block heater must be plugged in at least one

hour to have an adequate warming effect on the engine.
The engine block heater cord is routed under the hood on

the driver side of the vehicle. It has a removable cap that

is located on the driver side of the Integrated Power

Module.
