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 5.0 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.

If your vehicle is operated in a heavy snow
storm or blowing snow conditions, the
engine air induction may become partially
clogged with snow and ice. If this occurs,
the engine may experience a significant
reduction in power output. At the earliest
opportunity, clear all the snow and ice
away from the air induction inlet.

IGNITION SWITCH

(If Equipped)

STARTING A GASOLINE

their safety belts.
