WARNING! (Continued)

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-

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 Weather

Љ 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. Press 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.

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.
