2. If the engine does not start after 5-10 seconds,

especially in very cold weather (below 0°F or

−18°C), it could be ﬂooded with too much

gasoline. Try pushing the accelerator pedal all

the way to the ﬂoor and holding it there as

you hold the key in START for up to a

maximum of 15 seconds. Wait at least

15 seconds between each try, to allow the

cranking motor to cool down. When the engine

starts, let go of the key and accelerator. If

the vehicle starts brieﬂy but then stops again,

do the same thing. This clears the extra

gasoline from the engine. Do not race the

engine immediately after starting it. Operate

the engine and transmission gently until the oil

warms up and lubricates all moving parts.

Notice: Your engine is designed to work with

the electronics in your vehicle. If you add

electrical parts or accessories, you could

change the way the engine operates. Before

adding electrical equipment, check with

your dealer/retailer. If you do not, your engine

might not perform properly. Any resulting

damage would not be covered by your

vehicle’s warranty.

Engine Coolant Heater

Your vehicle may have an engine coolant heater.

In very cold weather, 0°F (−18°C) or colder,

the engine coolant heater can help. You will get

easier starting and better fuel economy during

engine warm-up.

Usually, the coolant heater should be plugged in a

minimum of four hours prior to starting your

vehicle. At temperatures above 32°F (0°C), use of

the coolant heater is not required. Your vehicle

may also have an internal thermostat in the

plug end of the cord. This will prevent operation of

the engine coolant heater when the temperature

is at or above 0°F (−18°C) as noted on the cord.
