Apply the parking brake.

In cold weather, turn off all
electrical accessories to reduce
the drain on the battery.

Push the clutch pedal down all the
way. The ENGINE START button
has no effect unless the clutch
pedal is depressed.

Turn the ignition key to ON (II)
position.

Without touching the accelerator
pedal, push the ENGINE START
button. If the engine does not start
right away, do not hold the
ENGINE START button for more
than 15 seconds at a time. Pause
for at least 10 seconds before
trying again.

If the engine still does not start,
press the accelerator pedal all the
way down and hold it there while
starting in order to clear flooding.
As before, hold the ENGINE
START button for no more than
15 seconds. Return to step 6 if the
engine does not start. If it starts,
lift your foot off the accelerator
pedal so the engine does not race.

If the engine does not start within
15 seconds, or starts but stalls
right away, repeat step 5 with the
accelerator pedal pressed half-way
down. If the engine starts, release
pressure on the accelerator pedal
so the engine does not race.
