• If the engine is very hard to start inextremely cold weather or when re-
starting, depress the accelerator
pedal a little (approximately 1/3 to the
floor) and while holding, crank the en-
gine. Release the accelerator pedal
when the engine starts.
•
If the engine is very hard to start be-
cause it is flooded, depress the accel-
erator pedal all the way to the floor and
hold it. Push the ignition switch to the
ON position to start cranking the engine.
Af ter 5 or 6 seconds, stop cranking by
pushing the ignition switch to the LOCK
position. Af ter cranking the engine, re-
lease the accelerator pedal. Crank the
engine with your foot off the accelerator
pedal by depressing the brake pedal

Warm-up
Allow the engine to idle for at least 30
seconds af ter starting. Do not race the
engine while warming it up. Drive at a
moderate speed for a short distance
first, especially in cold weather. In cold
weather, keep the engine running for a
minimum of2-3minutes before shut-
ting it off. Starting and stopping the en-
gine over a short period of time may
make the vehicle more difficult to start.
5. To stop the engine, with the Intelligent Key inside the vehicle, move the shif t
lever to the P (Park) position or to N (Neu-
tral) and apply the parking brake (M/T)
and push the ignition switch to the OFF
position.
NOTE:
Care should be taken to avoid situa-
tions that can lead to potential battery
discharge and potential no-start con-
ditions such as:
1. Installation or extended use of elec- tronic accessories that consume bat-
tery power when the engine is not
running (phone chargers, GPS, DVD
players, etc.). 2. The vehicle is not driven regularly
and/or only driven short distances.
In these cases, the battery may need to
be charged to maintain battery health.
REMOTE ENGINE START (if so
equipped)

Start require the ignition switch to be

tion. To place the ignition switch in the ON

2. Apply the brake.
3. Push the ignition switch once to the ON position.
