Starting Procedure (Key Access)

1. With your foot off the

accelerator pedal, turn the
ignition key to START. When
the engine starts, let go of the
ignition.

The idle speed will go down as
your engine gets warm. Do not
race the engine immediately
after starting it.

Caution

Cranking the engine for long
periods of time, by returning the
ignition to the START position
immediately after cranking has
ended, can overheat and damage
the cranking motor, and drain the
battery. Wait at least 15 seconds
between each try, to let the
cranking motor cool down.

2. If the engine does not start

after five to 10 seconds,
especially in very cold weather
(below

18 °C or 0 °F), it could

be flooded with too much
gasoline. Try pushing the

accelerator pedal all the way to
the floor and holding it there as
you hold the key in START,
or press the START button, for
up to a maximum of
15 seconds. Wait at least
15 seconds between each try,
to allow the cranking motor to
cool down. When the engine
starts, let go of the key or
button, and the accelerator.
If the vehicle starts briefly but
then stops again, do the same
thing. This clears the extra
gasoline from the engine. Do
not race the engine
immediately after starting it.
Operate the engine and
transmission gently until the oil
warms up and lubricates all
moving parts.

Starting Procedure (Keyless
Access)

1. With the Keyless Access

system, the RKE transmitter
must be in the vehicle. Press
the ENGINE START/STOP
button with the brake pedal

applied. When the engine
begins cranking, let go of the
button.

The idle speed will go down as
your engine gets warm. Do not
race the engine immediately
after starting it.

If the RKE transmitter is not in
the vehicle, if there is
interference, or the RKE
battery is low, the Driver
Information Center (DIC) will
display a message. See

Caution

Cranking the engine for long
periods of time, by pressing
ENGINE START/STOP
immediately after cranking has
ended, can overheat and damage
the cranking motor, and drain the
battery. Wait at least 15 seconds
between each try, to let the
cranking motor cool down.
