When the indicator light on the power point
is:
•

On: The power point is working, the
ignition is on and a device is plugged
in.

•

Off: The power point is off, the ignition
is off or no device is plugged in.

•

Flashing: The power point is in fault

device and switch the ignition off. Switch
the ignition back on, but do not plug your
device back in. Let the system cool off and
switch the ignition off to reset the fault
mode. Switch the ignition back on and
make sure the indicator light remains on.

electric devices, including:
•

Cathode-ray, tube-type televisions.

•

Motor loads, such as vacuum cleaners,
electric saws and other electric power
tools or compressor-driven
refrigerators.

•

Measuring devices, which process
precise data, such as medical
equipment or measuring equipment.

Other appliances requiring an
extremely stable power supply such as
microcomputer-controlled electric
blankets or touch-sensor lamps.

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 vehicle in a closed
garage or in other enclosed areas.
Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always

open the garage door before you start the
vehicle.

If you smell exhaust fumes inside
your vehicle, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized dealer

immediately. Do not drive your vehicle 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 your vehicle, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal until the ready to
drive indicator illuminates. Only use the
accelerator pedal when you have difficulty
starting your vehicle.

KEYLESS STARTING

Note: The system may not function if the
intelligent access key is close to metal
objects or electronic devices, for example
keys or a cell phone.

Note: A valid intelligent access 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 your vehicle is running but 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 once.

Start: Starts your vehicle. The engine may
not start when your vehicle starts.

•

Press the brake pedal, and then press
the button for any length of time. An
indicator light on the button illuminates
when the ignition is on and when your
vehicle 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. A
message appears in the information display
alerting you that you exceeded the cranking
time. 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).
