If you should experience cold weather starting problems on E

ethanol,

and neither an alternative brand of E

ethanol nor an engine block

heater is available, the addition of unleaded gasoline to your tank will

improve cold starting performance. Your vehicle is designed to operate

on E

ethanol alone, unleaded gasoline alone, or any mixture of the two.

See Choosing the right fuel in the Maintenance and Specifications

chapter for more information on ethanol.

If the engine fails to start using the preceding instructions (flexible

fuel vehicles only)

1. Press and hold down the accelerator 1/3 to 1/2 way to floor, then

crank the engine.

2. When the engine starts, release the key, then gradually release the

accelerator pedal as the engine speeds up. If the engine still fails to start,

repeat Step 1.

Guarding against exhaust fumes

WARNING: If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have

your dealer inspect your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you

smell exhaust fumes.

Carbon monoxide is present in exhaust fumes. Take precautions to avoid

its dangerous effects.

Important ventilating information

If the engine is idling while the vehicle is stopped for a long period of

time, open the windows at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) or adjust the heating or

air conditioning to bring in fresh air.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (IF EQUIPPED)

An engine block heater warms the engine coolant which aids in starting

and allows the heater/defroster system to respond quickly. If your vehicle

is equipped with this system, your equipment includes a heater element

which is installed in your engine block and a wire harness which allows

the user to connect the system to a grounded 120 volt A/C electrical

source. The block heater system is most effective when outdoor

temperatures reach below 0°F (-18°C).

For flexible fuel vehicles, if operating with E85 ethanol, an engine block

heater must be used if ambient temperature is below 0°F (-18°C).

See Cold weather starting earlier in this chapter for more information

on starting with ethanol.
