2. Turn the key to 4 (start), then release the key as soon as the engine
begins cranking. Your vehicle has a computer assisted cranking system
that assists in starting the engine. After releasing the key from the 4
(start) position, the engine may continue cranking for up to 10 seconds
or until the vehicle starts.
Note:
Cranking may be stopped at any time by turning the key to the off
position.
3. After idling for a few seconds, release the parking brake, apply the
brake, shift into gear and drive.
Note:
If the engine does not start on the first try, turn the vehicle to the
off position, wait 10 seconds and try Step 2 again. If the engine still fails
to start, press the accelerator to the floor and try Step 2 again, keeping
the accelerator on the floor until the engine begins to accelerate above
cranking speeds; this will allow the engine to crank with the fuel shut off
in case the engine is flooded with fuel.
Push button start system (if equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with the
push button start system, you can
start your vehicle by pressing the
start button in combination with the
brake pedal rather than using a key.
The start button is located on the
instrument panel to right of the
steering wheel.
In order to operate the Push Button
Start system and start your vehicle,
your Intelligent Access key (IA key)
must be present inside the vehicle, either in the passenger compartment
or in the trunk.
1. To put the vehicle in accessory mode, press and release the
START/STOP button without applying the brake pedal. This allows
electrical accessories such as the radio to operate while the engine is not
running. ACCESSORY POWER ACTIVE and PRESS BRAKE TO START
will be displayed in the message center. Refer to
Message center
in the
Instrument Cluster
chapter for more information.
2. To put the vehicle in On mode, press and hold the START/STOP
button for at least one second without applying the brake pedal. This will
power your vehicle’s electrical system and the warning lights in the
instrument cluster will illuminate, but the engine will remain off.
