Do not crank the engine for more than 10 seconds at a time as starter

damage may occur. If the engine fails to start, turn the key to off and

wait 30 seconds before trying again.

Do not use starting fluid such as ether in the air intake system. Such

fluid could cause immediate explosive damage to the engine and possible

personal injury.

If you should experience cold weather starting problems on E

85

ethanol,

and neither an alternative brand of E

85

ethanol nor an engine block

heater is available, the addition of unleaded gasoline to your tank will

improve cold starting performance. Your vehicle is designed to operate

on E

85

ethanol alone, unleaded gasoline alone, or any mixture of the two.

See

Choosing the right fuel

crank the engine.

2. When the engine starts, release the key, then gradually release the

accelerator pedal as the engine speeds up. If the engine still fails to

start, repeat Step 1.

Guarding against exhaust fumes

Although odorless and colorless, carbon monoxide is present in exhaust

fumes. Take precautions to avoid its dangerous effects.

WARNING:

If you ever smell exhaust fumes of any kind inside

your vehicle, have your authorized dealer inspect and fix your

vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you smell exhaust fumes. These

fumes are harmful and result in accident or death.

Have the exhaust and body ventilation systems checked whenever:

the vehicle is raised for service.

the sound of the exhaust system changes.

the vehicle has been damaged in a collision.

WARNING:

Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and

certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to

the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other

reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and

certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known

to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other

reproductive harm.
