 The operation mode can be in any mode to start the engine.  The starter motor will be turning for up to approximately 15 seconds if the engine switch is released at once. Pressing the engine switch again while the starter motor is still turning will stop the starter motor. The starter motor will be turningfor up to approximate
ly 30 seconds while
the engine switch is pressed. If the engine does not start, wait for awhile and then attempt to start the engine again. Trying repeatedly with the starter motor still turning will damage the startermechanism.  If the engine will not
start because the bat-
tery is weak or discharged, refer to“Jump-starting the engine” on page 8-2 for instructions.  A longer warm up period will only con- sume extra fuel. The engine is warmed up enough for driv- ing when the low coolant temperatureindicator goes out. Refer to “Low coolant temperature indi- cator” on page 5-71.
Your vehicle is equipped with an electroni- cally controlled fuel injection system. This is a system that automatically controls fuelinjection. There is usually no need to depress the accelerator pedal when starting the engine.To prevent battery drain, wait a few seconds between attempts to restart the engine. 1. Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat belts fastened.2. Make sure the parking brake is applied. 3. Press and hold the brake pedal down firmly with your right foot.

6. Press the engine switch. 7. Confirm that all warning lights and warn-ing displays are functioning properly.
After several attempts
, you may experience
that the engine still does not start. 1. Make sure that all electric devices, such as lights, air conditi

When the ambient temperature is -4 °F (-20 °C) or lower, it may not be possible to startfrom a standstill even with the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) or “R” (REVERSE) position.This phenomenon occurs
because the trans-
axle has not warmed up sufficiently; it does not indicate a problem.
If this occurs, place
the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position and let the engine idle
for at least 10 minutes.
The transaxle will wa
rm up, and you will be
able to start normally. Do not leave the vehicle during warm-upoperation.
