Starting a Flooded Engine

If the engine fails to start, it may be
flooded (excessive fuel in the engine).

Follow this procedure:

1. Depress the accelerator all the way and

hold it there.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the START

position and hold it there

for up to 10

seconds. If the engine starts, release the
key and accelerator immediately
because the engine will suddenly rev
up.

3. If the engine fails to start, crank it

without depressing the accelerator

for

up to 10 seconds.

Jump-Starting

The battery is in the trunk.
Jump-starting is dangerous if done
incorrectly. So follow the procedure
carefully. If you feel unsure about jump-
starting, we strongly recommend that you
have a competent service technician do
the work.

WARNING

Battery-Related Explosion:
Flames and sparks near open battery
cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas,
produced during normal battery
operation, could ignite and cause the
battery to explode. An exploding
battery can cause serious burns and
injuries. Keep all flames, including
cigarettes, and sparks away from open
battery cells.

Frozen Battery:
Jump-starting a frozen battery is
dangerous. It may rupture or explode,
causing serious injury.
Don't jump-start a frozen battery.

CAUTION

Use only a 12 V booster system. You
can damage a 12 V starter, ignition
system, and other electrical parts
beyond repair with a 24 V power
supply (two 12 V batteries in series or a
24 V motor generator set).

1. Make sure the booster battery is 12 V

and that its negative terminal is
grounded.
