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.

I

NOTICE:

Don’t

try

to shift to PARK

(P)

if your Buick is

moving.

If

you do, you could damage the

transaxle. Shift to PARK

(P)

only when your

vehicle is stopped.

Starting

Your

3.1

Liter

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.

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.

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 don’t,

your engine might not perform properly.
