408 STARTING AND OPERATING If Engine Fails To Start WARNING! (Continued) • If the vehicle has a discharged battery, booster cables may be used to obtain a start from a booster battery or the battery in another vehicle. This type of start can be dangerous if done improperly. Refer to "Jump Starting" in "What To Do In Emergencies" for further information. Clearing A Flooded Engine (Using ENGINE START/STOP Button) If the engine fails to start after you have followed the "Normal Starting" or "Extreme Cold WeatherЉ procedures, it may be flooded. To clear any excess fuel: 1. Press and hold the brake pedal. 2. Press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it. WARNING! • Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid into the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in flash fire causing serious personal injury. • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. Vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission cannot be started this way. Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter and vehicle. (Continued)
