To start your engine:
1. Without pushing the accelerator
pedal, turn your ignition key to
Start.
When the engine starts, let go of the
key. The idle speed will go down as
your engine gets warm.
NOTICE:
Holding your key in Start for longer
than
15 seconds at a time will cause
your battery to be drained much
sooner. And the excessive heat can
damage your starter motor.
2. If your engine.won’t start (or starts
but then stops), it could be flooded
with too much gasoline. Try pushing
your accelerator pedal all the way to
the floor and holding it there as you
hold the key in
Start for about three
seconds.
If the vehicle starts briefly
but then stops again, do the same
thing, but this time keep the pedal
down for five or six seconds. This
clears the extra gasoline. from the
engine.
NOTICE:
Your engine is designed to work
with the electronics in your vehicle.
If you add electrical parts or
accessories, you could change the
way the fuel injection system
operates. Before adding electrical
equipment, check with your dealer.
If you don’t, your engine might not
perform properly.
If you ever have
to have your vehicle towed, see the
part
of this manual that tells how to
do it without damaging your
vehicle. See
Towing Your Vehicle
in the Index.
Driving Through Deep
Standing Water
NOTICE:
If you drive too quicldy through
deep puddles or standing water,
water can come in through your
engine’s air intake and badly
damage your engine. If you can’t
avoid deep puddles or standing
water, drive through them very
slowly.

9perafion.of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system-
(headlights, parlung lights, fog lamps,
side marker lights and taillights) meets
311 applicable federal lighting
requirements, certain states and
provinces may apply thek own lighting
:egulations that may require special attention
before
you op~erate these
lights.
For example, some jurisdictions may
require that you operate your fog lamps
only when your lower beam headlights
are
also on, or that‘ headlightsbe turned
on whenever you must .use your
windshield wipers. In addition, mo.st
jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with
parking lights, especially at dawn or
dusk. It
is recommended that you check
with your
own state or provincial
highway authority for applicable
lighting regulations.
Ligk On Reminder
If you open the door while leaving the
lights on, you will hear a warning tone.
Daytinre. Rurmjng DgMs
(CANADA ONLY)
.The Canadian Federal Government has
decided that “Daytime Running Lights”
(DRL) are a useful feature, in that DRL
can make your vehicle more visible to
pedestrians and other drivers during
daylight hours.
DRL are required on
.new vehicles sold in Canada. Your
DIU work
with a light sensor on
top
of the instrument panel. Don’t
cover it up.
The low :beam headlights will come on
at reduced brightness in daylight when:
The ignition is on
*‘ The head,light switch is off, and
‘The parking brake is released.
At dusk, the exteriorlights will come on
automatically and the low beams will
change
to full brightness. At dawn, the
exterior lights will go out and the low
beams will change
to the reduced
brightness of
DRL (if the headlight
switch is
off).
Of course, you may still turn on the
headlights any time you need to.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL,
off,
set the parling brake while the ignition
is in the
Off or Loch position. Then
start the vehicle. The DRL will stay off
until
you: release the parking brake.

Your Driving and the Road
Braking in Emergencies
Use your anti-lock braking system when
you need to. With anti-lock, you can
steer and brake at the same time. In
many emergencies, steering can help
you more than even the very best
braking.
130
You can steer around the obstacle while
braking hard.
As you brake, your computer keeps
receiving updates on wheel speed and
controls braking pressure accordingly.
Remember: Anti-lock doesn’t change
the time you need to get your foot up to
the brake pedal.
If you get too close to
the vehicle in front of you, you won’t
have time to apply your brakes
if that
vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always
leave enough room up ahead to stop,
even though you have anti-lock brakes.
To Use Anti-Lock
Don’t pump the brakes. Just hold the
brake pedal down and let anti-lock
work for you.
You may feel the system
working, or you may notice some noise,
but this
is normal.
Steering
Power Steering
If you lose power steering assist
because the engine stops or the system
is not functioning, you can steer but it
will take much more effort.
Steering Tips
Driving on Curves
It’s important to take curves at a
reasonable speed.
A lot of the “driver lost control”
accidents mentioned on the news
happen on curves. Here’s why:
Experienced driver or beginner, each
of
us is subject to the same laws of physics
when driving on curves. The traction of
the tires against the road surface makes it
possible for the vehicle to change its
path when you turn the front wheels. If
there’s
no traction, inertia will keep the
vehicle going in the same direction. If
you’ve ever tried to steer a vehicle on
wet ice, you’ll understand this.
The traction you can get in a curve
depends on the condition of your tires
and the road surface, the angle at which
the curve is banked, and your speed.
While you’re in a curve, speed is the one
factor you can control.
Suppose you’re steering through a
sharp curve. Then you suddenly
accelerate. Both control systems
-
steering and acceleration - have to do
their work where the tires meet the
road. Adding the sudden acceleration
can demand too much of those places.
You can lose control.
What should you do
if this ever
happens? Ease
up on the accelerator
pedal, steer the vehicle the way you
want it to go, and slow down.
Speed limit signs near curves warn that
you should adjust your speed. Of
course, the posted speeds are based on
good weather and road conditions.
