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, do the same thing. This

clears the extra gasoline from the engine. Do

not race the engine immediately after starting

it. Operate the engine and transaxle gently

until the oil warms up and lubricates all

moving parts.

Notice: Your engine is designed to work with

the electronics in your vehicle. If you add

electrical parts or accessories, you could

change the way the engine operates. Before

adding electrical equipment, check with

your dealer. If you do not, your engine might

not perform properly. Any resulting damage

would not be covered by your vehicle’s

warranty.

Engine Coolant Heater

If your vehicle has this feature, in very cold weather,

0°F (−18°C) or colder, the engine coolant heater

can help. You’ll get easier starting and better fuel

economy during engine warm-up. Usually, the

coolant heater should be plugged in a minimum

of four hours prior to starting your vehicle.

At temperatures above 32°F (0°C), use of the

coolant heater is not required.
