GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNINGS

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
on dry grass or other dry ground
cover. The emission system heats up

the engine compartment and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire.

Do not start the engine in a closed
garage or in other enclosed areas.
Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always

open the garage door before you start the
engine.

Exhaust leaks may result in entry of
harmful and potentially lethal fumes
into the passenger compartment. If

you smell exhaust fumes inside your
vehicle, have your vehicle inspected
immediately. Do not drive if you smell
exhaust fumes.

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.

The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise.

When you start the engine, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal before and during
operation. Only use the accelerator pedal
when you have difficulty starting the
engine.

IGNITION SWITCH

(If Equipped)

E252522

A

(off) - The ignition is off.

Note:

When you switch the ignition off and

leave your vehicle, do not leave your key in
the ignition. This could cause your vehicle
battery to lose charge.

B

(accessory) - Allows the electrical

accessories, such as the radio, to operate
while the engine is not running.

Note:

Do not leave the ignition key in this

position for too long. This could cause your
vehicle battery to lose charge.

C

(on) - All electrical circuits are

operational and the warning lamps and
indicators illuminate.

D

(start) - Cranks the engine.

KEYLESS STARTING

(If Equipped)

Note:

The system may not function if the

passive key is close to metal objects or
electronic devices, for example keys or a cell
phone.

Note:

A valid passive key must be located

inside your vehicle to switch the ignition on
and start your vehicle.

Ignition Modes

E144447

The keyless starting system has three
modes:

Off:

Turns the ignition off.

•

Without applying the brake pedal,
press and release the button once
when the ignition is in the on mode, or
when the engine is running but your
vehicle is not moving.

On:

All electrical circuits are operational

and the warning lamps and indicators
illuminate.

•

Without applying the brake pedal,
press and release the button twice.

Start:

Starts the engine.

•

Press the brake pedal, and then press
the button for any length of time. An
indicator light on the button illuminates
when then ignition is on and when the
engine starts.

STARTING A GASOLINE
ENGINE

When you start the engine, the idle speed
increases. This helps to warm up the
engine. If the engine idle speed does not
slow down automatically, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.

Note:

You can crank the engine for a total

of 60 seconds without the engine starting
before the starting system temporarily
disables. The 60 seconds does not have to
be all at once. For example, if you crank the
engine three times for 20 seconds each
time, without the engine starting, you
reached the 60-second time limit. You
cannot attempt to start the engine for at
least 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, you are
limited to a 15-second engine cranking time.
You need to wait 60 minutes before you can
crank the engine for 60 seconds again.

Before starting your vehicle, check the
following:
•

Make sure all occupants have fastened
their seatbelts.

•

Make sure the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off.

•

Make sure the parking brake is on.

•

Make sure the transmission is in park
(P).

•

Switch the ignition on. For vehicles with
a keyless ignition, see the following
instructions.

Vehicles with an Ignition Key

Note:

Do not touch the accelerator pedal.

1.

Fully depress the brake pedal.

2. Turn the key to the start position to

start the engine.

Note:

The engine may continue cranking

for up to 15 seconds or until it starts.

Note:

If you cannot start the engine on the

first try, wait for a short period and try again.

Vehicles with Keyless Start

Note:

Do not touch the accelerator pedal.

Note:

You must have your intelligent access

key in your vehicle in order to shift the
transmission out of park (P).

1.

Fully depress the brake pedal.

2. Press the push button ignition switch.

The system does not function if:
•

The passive key frequencies are
jammed.

•

If you are unable to start your vehicle, do
the following:

E256153

1.

Access the backup slot.

2. Insert the passive key into the backup

slot.

3. With the key in this position, press the

brake pedal then press the push button
ignition switch to switch the ignition on
and start your vehicle.

Fast Restart

The fast restart feature allows you to
restart your vehicle within 20 seconds of
switching it off, even if it does not detect
a valid passive key.

Within 20 seconds of switching the engine
off, press the brake pedal and press the
push button ignition switch.

After 20 seconds, you can no longer start
your vehicle if it does not detect a valid
passive key.

Once your vehicle starts, it remains running
until you press the push button ignition
switch, even if your vehicle does not detect
a valid passive key. If you open and close
a door while your vehicle is running, the
system searches for a valid passive key.
You cannot start your vehicle if the system
does not detect a valid passive key within
20 seconds.

Failure to Start

If you cannot start the engine after three
attempts, wait 10 seconds and follow this
procedure:

1.

Fully depress the brake pedal.

2. Shift into park (P).

3. Fully press the accelerator pedal and

hold it there.

4. Start the engine.

Automatic Engine Shutdown

For vehicles with a keyless ignition, this
automatically shuts down your vehicle if
it has been idling for an extended period.
The ignition also turns off to save battery
power. Before your vehicle shuts down, a
message appears in the information
