If you have difficulty starting the engine when the temperature is below

-13°F (-25°C), press the accelerator pedal slightly and try again.

If you cannot start your engine after three attempts, wait 10 seconds,

then follow this procedure:

1. Fully press the brake pedal.

2. Fully press the accelerator pedal and hold it there.

3. Move the transmission selector lever to position P or N.

4. Start the engine.

Failure to Start

If you cannot start the engine after three attempts, wait 10 seconds and

follow this procedure:

1. Fully press the brake pedal.

2. Fully press the accelerator pedal and hold it there.

3. Start the engine.

Cold Weather Starting (Flexible Fuel Vehicles Only)

Note: Do not crank the engine for more than 10 seconds at a time as

starter damage may occur. If the engine fails to start, turn the key to off

and wait 30 seconds before trying again.

Note: Do not use starting fluid such as ether in the air intake system.

Such fluid could cause immediate explosive damage to the engine and

possible personal injury.

Note: You may experience a decrease in peak performance when the

engine is cold when operating on E85 ethanol.

The starting characteristics of all grades of E85 ethanol make it

unsuitable for use when ambient temperatures fall below 0°F (-18°C).

Consult your fuel distributor for the availability of winter grade ethanol.

As the outside temperature approaches freezing, ethanol fuel distributors

should supply winter grade ethanol (same as with unleaded gasoline). If

summer grade ethanol is used in cold weather conditions, 0°F to 32°F

(-18°C to 0°C), you may experience increased cranking times, rough idle

or hesitation until the engine has warmed up.

If you should experience cold weather starting problems on E85 ethanol,

and neither an alternative brand of E85 ethanol nor an engine block

heater is available, adding unleaded gasoline to your tank improves cold

starting performance. Your vehicle is designed to operate on E85 ethanol

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

See Choosing the right fuel in the Fuels and Refueling chapter for

more information on ethanol.
