Preparing to start your vehicle

Engine starting is controlled by the powertrain control system. This

system meets all Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment standard

requirements regulating the impulse electrical field strength of radio

noise.

When starting a fuel-injected engine, avoid pressing the accelerator

before or during starting. Only use the accelerator when you have

difficulty starting the engine. For more information on starting the

vehicle, refer to Starting the engine in this chapter.

Extended idling at high engine speeds can produce very high

temperatures in the engine and exhaust system, creating the risk

of fire or other damage.

Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in dry grass or other dry

ground cover. The emission system heats up the engine

compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire.

Do not start your vehicle in a closed garage or in other enclosed

areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open the garage door

before you start the engine. See Guarding against exhaust fumes in

this chapter for more instructions.
