9-20 Driving and Operating

2. If the engine does not start after

5‐10 seconds, especially in

very cold weather (below 0°F

or −18°C), 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 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 and accelerator.

If the vehicle starts briefly but

then stops again, repeat these

steps. 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.

Notice: The engine is designed to

work with the electronics in the

vehicle. If you add electrical parts

or accessories, you could change

the way the engine operates.

Before adding electrical

equipment, check with your

dealer/retailer. If you do not,

the engine might not perform

properly. Any resulting damage

would not be covered by the

vehicle warranty.

Engine Heater

The engine coolant heater can

provide easier starting and better

fuel economy during engine

warm-up in cold weather conditions

at or below 0°F (−18°C). Vehicles

with an engine coolant heater

should be plugged in at least

four hours before starting. Some

models may have an internal

thermostat in the cord which will

prevent engine coolant heater

operation at temperatures above

0°F (−18°C).

To Use the Engine Coolant

Heater

1. Turn off the engine.

2. Open the hood and unwrap

the electrical cord. The cord is

located on the driver side of the

engine compartment. It is routed

around the windshield washer

fluid reservoir.

3. Plug the cord into a normal,

grounded 110-volt AC outlet.
