Starting the Engine
Automatic Transmission
Move the shift lever to P (Park) or
N (Neutral). The engine will not
start in any other position. To restart
when you are already moving, use
N (Neutral) only. Notice:
Shifting into P (Park)
with the vehicle moving could
damage the transmission. Shift
into P (Park) only when the vehicle
is stopped.
Manual Transmission
The shift lever should be in
NEUTRAL and the parking brake
engaged. Hold the clutch pedal
to the floor and start the engine.
The vehicle will not start if the clutch
pedal is not all the way down.
Starting Procedure

When the engine starts, let go of
the key. The idle speed will go
down as the engine gets warm.
Vehicles equipped with
the 1.8L engine have a
Computer-Controlled Cranking
System. This feature assists in
starting the engine and protects components. If the ignition key is
turned to the START position,
and then released when the
engine begins cranking, the
engine will continue cranking for
a about 30 seconds or until the
vehicle starts. If the engine does
not start and the key is held in
START for many seconds,
cranking will be stopped after
25 seconds to prevent cranking
motor damage. To prevent gear
damage, this system also
prevents cranking if the engine is
already running. Engine cranking
can be stopped by turning the
ignition switch to ACC/
ACCESSORY or LOCK/OFF.
Vehicles equipped with
the 2.4L engine should not
be cranked for more than
30 seconds at a time. This
