Extreme Cold Weather (Below –30°F or34°C)
To ensure reliable starting at these temperatures, use of
an externally powered electric engine block heater (avail-
able from your authorized dealer) is required for the 1.4L
Turbo and 2.4L engines and recommended for the 2.0L
engine.
Extended Park Starting

60 seconds to allow the starter to cool, then repeat the
Extended Park Starting procedure.
If Engine Fails To Start
If the engine fails to start after you have followed the
“Normal Starting” or “Extreme Cold Weather” proce-
dures, it may be flooded. Push the accelerator pedal all
the way to the floor and hold it there. Crank the engine
for no more than 15 seconds. This should clear any excess
fuel in case the engine is flooded. Leave the ignition key
in the ON position, release the accelerator pedal and
repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure.
