all electrical accessories off.

accessories such as the radio to

running.

position when driving.

4. Start— cranks the engine. Release the key as soon as the engine

Starting 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, don’t press 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.

To avoid potential transmission damage at extremely cold temperatures

(below -20°F [-30°C]), it is recommended that the vehicle be warmed up

to normal operating temperature before driving at highway speeds above

50 mph (80 km/h). Normal operating temperature is normally reached

after 10 minutes of moderate driving or idling.

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: 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.
