STARTING
Positions of the ignition
1. OFF/LOCK, shuts off the engine
and all electrical accessories except
the audio system and power
windows, which retain power for 10
minutes or until the door is ajar.
This position also locks the steering
wheel and allows key removal.
2. ACC, allows electrical accessories
to operate while the engine is not
running.
3. ON, all electrical circuits are operational and warning lights are
illuminated. Key position when driving.
Preparing to start 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 enginein this chapter.
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.
Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system heats up the engine
compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire.
Do not start your vehicle in a closed garage or in other enclosed
areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open the garage door
before you start the engine. See Guarding against exhaust fumes in
this chapter for more instructions.
