WARNING!

(Continued)

Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it

started. Vehicles equipped with an automatic trans-
mission cannot be started this way. Unburned fuel
could enter the catalytic converter and once the
engine has started, ignite and damage the converter
and vehicle.

If the vehicle has a discharged battery, booster

cables may be used to obtain a start from a booster
battery or the battery in another vehicle. This type
of start can be dangerous if done improperly. Refer
to “Jump Starting” in “What To Do In Emergen-
cies” for further information.

Clearing A Flooded Engine (Using ENGINE
START/STOP Button)
If the engine fails to start after you have followed the

“Normal Starting” or “Extreme Cold WeatherЉ proce-

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

hold it.

3. Push and release the ENGINE START/STOP button

once.

The starter motor will engage automatically, run for 10

seconds, and then disengage. Once this occurs, release

the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal, wait 10 to 15

seconds, then repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure.
