STARTING AND STOPPING THE
ENGINE – FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
Why is the engine idle speed high when
I am starting the engine?The speed at which the engine idles
immediately after starting is optimized
to minimize vehicle emissions and
maximize cabin comfort and fuel
economy.
Why does the engine not crank? You can only attempt to start the
engine for a limited amount of time
before the starting system temporarily
disables. If you exceed the starting
time limit, a message may appear and
you cannot attempt to start the engine
for at least 15 minutes.
Why do I experience different driving
characteristics? If you disconnect the battery, your
vehicle may exhibit some unusual
driving characteristics for
approximately 5 mi (8 km) after you
reconnect it. This is because the engine
management system must realign
itself with the engine. You can
disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.
Why can I not start the engine? If you cannot start the engine after 3
attempts, wait 10 seconds and do the
following:
Vehicles Without Push Button Start
1. Fully press the brake pedal.
Note: Make sure that the parking brake is
applied.
Note: Make sure that the transmission is in
park (P).
2. Fully press the accelerator pedal and hold it there. 3. Turn the key to position
III and wait
until the engine stops cranking.
4. Release the accelerator pedal.
