STARTING PROCEDURES

Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both

inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belt.

intervals. Waiting a few seconds between such intervals

will protect the starter from overheating.

access to an unlocked vehicle. Leaving children in a
vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously or
fatally injured. Children should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift
lever/transmission gear selector. Do not leave the Key

release when the engine starts. If the engine fails to start

within 10 seconds, cycle the ignition to the OFF position,

wait five seconds, then repeat the “Normal Starting”

procedure.
