STARTING

Positions of the ignition

1. LOCK, locks the automatic

transaxle gearshift lever and allows

key removal. This position also shuts

the engine and all electrical

accessories off without locking the

steering wheel. To lock the steering

wheel, remove the key then turn the

steering wheel.

2. ACC, allows the electrical accessories such as the radio to operate

while the engine is not running. This position also unlocks the steering

wheel.

3. RUN, all electrical circuits operational. Warning lights illuminated. Key

position when driving.

4. START, cranks the engine. Release the key as soon as the engine

starts.

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.

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.
