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.

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.
