  1. Apply the parking brake.
  2.  Move the shift lever to P (Park) or N (Neutral).

    P (Park) is recommended.

    The starter is designed not to operate if the shift lever is in any of the driving positions.

  3.  Push the ignition switch to the ON position.

    Depress the brake pedal and push the ignition switch to start the engine.

    To start the engine immediately, push and release the ignition switch while depressing the brake pedal with the ignition switch in any position.

CAUTION

Do not operate the starter for more than 15 seconds at a time. If the engine does not start, push the ignition switch to the OFF position and wait 10 seconds before cranking again, otherwise the starter could be damaged.

  1. Warm-up
    Allow the engine to idle for at least 30 seconds after starting. Do not race the engine while warming it up. Drive at moderate speed for a short distance first, especially in cold weather. In cold weather, keep the engine running for a minimum of two to three minutes before shutting it off. Starting and stopping the engine over a short period of time may make the vehicle more difficult to start.
  2.  To stop the engine, shift the shift lever into the P (Park) position and push the ignition switch to the OFF position.

NOTE: Care should be taken to avoid situations that can lead to potential battery discharge and potential no-start conditions such as:

  1.  Installation or extended use of electronic accessories that consume battery power when the engine is not running (Phone chargers, GPS, DVD players, etc.)
  2.  Vehicle is not driven regularly and/or only driven short distances. In these cases, the battery may need to be charged to maintain battery health
