Automatic Engine Shutdown
Your vehicle has a feature that automatically shuts down the engine if it
has been idling for an extended period. The ignition also turns off in
order 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 engine shutdown
feature. When you switch it off temporarily, it turns on at the next
ignition cycle.
You can stop the engine shutdown, or reset the timer, at any point
before the 30-second countdown has expired by doing any of the
following:
•You can reset the timer by interacting with your vehicle (such as
pressing the brake pedal or accelerator pedal).
•You can temporarily switch off the shutdown feature any time the
ignition is on (for the current ignition cycle only). Use the
information display to do so.
•During the countdown before engine shutdown, you are prompted to
pressOKorRESET(depending on your type of information display)
to temporarily switch the feature off (for the current ignition cycle
only).

Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during the first 1000 miles
(1600 kilometers) of driving (this is your engine’s break-in period); a
more accurate measurement is obtained after 2000 miles–3000 miles
(3200 kilometers–4800 kilometers). Also, fuel expense, frequency of
fill-ups or fuel gauge readings are not accurate ways to measure fuel
economy.
1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record the initial odometer reading.
2. Each time you fill the tank, record the amount of fuel added.
3. After at least three to five tank fill-ups, fill the fuel tank and record
the current odometer reading.
4. Subtract your initial odometer reading from the current odometer
reading.
5. Calculate fuel economy as follows:
Standard: Divide miles traveled by gallons used.
Metric: Multiply liters used by 100, then divide by kilometers traveled.
Keep a record for at least one month and record the type of driving (city
or highway). This provides an accurate estimate of the vehicle’s fuel
economy under current driving conditions. Additionally, keeping records
during summer and winter show how temperature impacts fuel economy.
In general, lower temperatures mean lower fuel economy.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
WARNING:Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in dry grass
or other dry ground cover. The emission system heats up the
engine compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire.
WARNING: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 dealer inspect your
vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you smell exhaust fumes.

1. Enter the necessary information into the highlighted text fields (in
any order). For address destination entry,Go!appears once you
enter all the necessary information. PressingGo!makes the address
location appear on the map. If you choosePrevious Destination,
the last 20 destinations you have selected appear.
2. SelectSet as Destto make this your destination. You can also
choose to set this as a waypoint (have the system route to this point
on the way to your current destination) or save it as a favorite. The
system considers anyAvoid Areasselections in its route calculation.
3. Choose from up to three different types of routes, and then select
Start Route.
•Fastest Route:Uses the fastest moving roads possible.
•Shortest Route:Uses the shortest distance possible.
•Eco Route:Uses the most fuel-efficient route.
You can cancel the route or have the system demo the route for you.
SelectRoute Prefsto set route preferences like avoiding freeways,
tollroads, ferries and car trains as well as to use or not use
high-occupancy vehicle lanes. (High-occupancy vehicle lanes are also
known as carpool or diamond lanes. People who ride in buses, vanpools
or carpools use these lanes.)
Note:If your vehicle is on a recognized road and you do not press the
Start Routebutton, the system defaults to theFastest Routeoption
and begins guidance.
During route guidance, you can press the talking bubble icon that
appears in the upper right navigation corner (green bar) if you want the
system to repeat route guidance information. When the system repeats
the last guidance instruction, it updates the distance to the next
guidance instruction, since it detects when the vehicle is moving.
