1Starting the Engine
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when 
starting the engine.
The engine is harder to st art in cold weather and in 
thinner air found at altit udes above 8,000 feet (2,400 
meters).
When starting the engine in  cold weather, turn off all 
electrical accessories such as the lights, climate 
control system, and rear de fogger in order to reduce 
battery drain.
If you live in a region where winter is extremely cold, 
an engine block heater  will improve starting and 
warming of the engine. Cons ult a dealer for details.
If the exhaust system sounds abnormal or you can 
smell exhaust gas inside the  vehicle, have your vehicle 
checked by a dealer. There may be a problem with 
the engine or exhaust system.
The immobilizer system pr otects your vehicle from 
theft.
If an improperly c oded device is used, the engine’s 
fuel system is disabled. 2 Immobilizer System  P. 160

uuCleaning uExterior Care
Maintenance
The inside lenses of exterior lights (headli ghts, brake lights, etc.) may fog temporarily 
if you have driven in the rain, or after the vehicle has been run through a car wash.
Dew condensation also may build up inside  the lenses when there is a significant 
enough difference between the ambient and  inside lens temperatures (similar to 
vehicle windows fogging up in rainy conditions). These conditions are natural 
processes, not structural design problems in the exterior lights.
Lens design characteristics may result in mo isture developing on the light lens frame 
surfaces. This also  is not a malfunction.
However, if you see large amounts wate r accumulation, or large water drops 
building up inside the lenses, have your vehicle inspected by a dealer.
