Starting Your Engine

Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).

Your engine won’t start in any other position

-- that’s a

safety feature. To restart when you’re already moving,

use NEUTRAL (N) only.

NOTICE:

Don’t try to shift to PARK (P) if your vehicle is

moving. If you do, you could damage the

transaxle. Shift to PARK (P) only when your

vehicle is stopped.

Starting Your V6 Engine

1. Without pushing the accelerator pedal, turn your

ignition key to START. When the engine starts, let

go of the key. The idle speed will go down as your

engine gets warm.

NOTICE:

Holding your key in START for longer than

15 seconds at a time will cause your battery to

be drained much sooner. And the excessive heat

can damage your starter motor. Wait about

15 seconds between each try to help avoid

draining your battery or damaging your starter.

2. If your engine won’t start (or starts but then stops),

it could be flooded with too much gasoline. Try

pushing your accelerator pedal all the way to the

floor and holding it there as you hold the key in

START for up to 15 seconds. This clears the extra

gasoline from the engine.
