STARTING PROCEDURES
Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both

inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts.

WARNING!

Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with

access to an unlocked vehicle.

Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is

dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fatally injured. Chil-
dren should be warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the shift lever.

Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle (or

in a location accessible to children). A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or move
the vehicle.

Automatic Transmission — If Equipped
The shift lever must be in the PARK or NEUTRAL

position before you can start the engine. Depress the

brake pedal before shifting to any driving gear.
NOTE:

You must press the brake pedal before shifting

out of PARK.
Normal Starting

NOTE:

Normal starting of either a cold or a warm engine

is obtained without pumping or pressing the accelerator

pedal.
Turn the ignition switch to the AVV/ACC (START)

position and release it when the engine starts. If the

engine fails to start within 10 seconds, turn the ignition

switch to the STOP (OFF/LOCK) position, wait 10 to

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