Starting the engine
CAUTION:
•The engine should be idling when you
move the gear selector. Never accelerate
until after you feel the transmission
engage! Accelerating immediately after
selecting a gear will cause harsh engage-
ment and premature transmission wear.
•Selecting P or N when idling at a standstill
for prolonged periods of time will help
prevent overheating of the automatic
transmission fluid.
•Do not race a cold engine immediately
after starting. Oil flow may not reach
some lubrication points fast enough to
prevent engine damage.WARNING!
•Always place the gear selector in Park or
in reverse on models with a manual
transmission, and apply the parking brake
before leaving the vehicle. Never leave the
car unattended with the engine running.
•Always open garage doors fully before
starting the engine inside a garage to
ensure adequate ventilation. The exhaust
gases contain carbon monoxide, which is
invisible and odorless but very
poisonous.
•An extra mat on the driver's floor can
cause the accelerator pedal and the clutch
to catch. Check that the movement of the
accelerator pedal and clutch is not
impeded. Not more than one protective
floor covering may be used at one time.
