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.

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 the engine 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) or neutral.

Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.

Note: A valid passive key must be located
inside your vehicle to switch the power on
and start your vehicle.

1.

Fully depress the brake pedal.

2. Briefly press the push button ignition

switch.

The system does not function if:
•

The passive key frequencies are
jammed.

•

The key battery has no charge.

If you are unable to start the engine, do the
following:

compartment lid.

E195808

2. With the buttons facing the rear of your

vehicle and the key ring up, place the
intelligent access key into the backup
slot.

3. With the key in this position, press the

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

Fast Restart

The fast restart feature allows you to
restart your vehicle within 10 seconds of
switching it off, even if it does not detect
a valid passive key.

Within 10 seconds of switching your vehicle
off, press the brake pedal and press the
push button ignition switch. After 10
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.

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) or neutral.

3. Fully depress the accelerator pedal.

4. Keep the accelerator pedal fully

pressed and press the push button
ignition switch until the engine starts.

Automatic Engine Shutdown

This feature automatically shuts down the
engine if it has been idling for an extended
period. The ignition also turns off to save
battery power. Before the engine shuts
down, a message appears in the
information display showing a timer

counting down from 30 seconds. If you do
not intervene within 30 seconds, the engine
shuts down. Another message appears in
the information display to inform you that
the engine has shut down in order to save
fuel. Start your vehicle as you normally do.

Automatic Engine Shutdown Override

Note: You cannot permanently switch off
the automatic shutdown. When you switch
it off temporarily, it turns on at the next
ignition cycle.

You can stop the shutdown, or reset the
timer, at any point before the 30-second
countdown has expired by doing any of the
following:
•

Reset the timer by pressing the brake
or accelerator pedal.

•

Temporarily switch off the shutdown
feature during the current ignition cycle
using the information display. See
General Information (page 102).

•

Press OK or RESET to temporarily
switch the feature off during the
current ignition cycle.

Stopping the Engine When Your
Vehicle is Stationary

Shift into park (P).

2. Press the push button ignition switch.

3. Apply the parking brake.

Note: The ignition, all electrical circuits and
all warning lamps and indicators will be
