It's printed in the owner's manual of these cars for cold starts. Just one pump, then crank. It seems to help with starting my car in the morning, but like I said, Socal weather isn't really cold enough to matter. It's a matter of cranking for 1 second when using the one pump method vs. 3 seconds without.
