Push starting
Do not attempt to start the engine by pushing.
CAUTION
► Automatic transmission models cannot
be push-started or tow-started. Attempting
to do so may cause transmission
damage.
► Three way catalyst equipped models
should not be started by pushing since
the three way catalyst may be damaged.
► Never try to start the vehicle by towing
it; when the engine starts, the forward
surge could cause the vehicle to collide
with the tow vehicle.
