LIGHTING 141
If the vehicle has remained parked for
an extended period of time with no
remote key use or keyless access
operation, approach detection will be
disabled. To reactivate, press any
button on the remote key or open and
close all vehicle doors to re-enable the
entry lighting feature on approach.
Exit Lighting
Some exterior lamps and interior
lamps turn on when the driver door is
opened after the ignition is turned off.
The interior lights turn on when the
ignition is turned off.
The exterior and interior lamps
remain on for a set amount of time,
then automatically turn off.
The exterior lamps turn off
immediately by turning the exterior
lamp control off.
This feature can be changed. See
Vehicle Personalization0126.
Battery Load Management
The vehicle has Electric Power
Management (EPM), which estimates
the battery's temperature and state of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for
best performance and extended life of
the battery.
When the battery's state of charge is
low, the voltage is raised slightly to
quickly bring the charge back up.
When the state of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to prevent
overcharging. If the vehicle has a
voltmeter gauge or a voltage display
on the Driver Information Center
(DIC), you may see the voltage move
up or down. This is normal. If there is
a problem, an alert will be displayed.
The battery can be discharged at idle
if the electrical loads are very high.
This is true for all vehicles. This is
because the generator (alternator)
may not be spinning fast enough at
idle to produce all the power that is
needed for very high electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs when
several of the following are on, such
as: headlamps, high beams, fog lamps,
rear window defogger, climate control
fan at high speed, heated seats, engine
cooling fans, and loads plugged into
accessory power outlets.
EPM works to prevent excessive
discharge of the battery. It does this
by balancing the generator's output
and the vehicle's electrical needs.
It can increase engine idle speed to
generate more power, whenever
needed. It can temporarily reduce the
power demands of some accessories.
Normally, these actions occur in steps
or levels, without being noticeable. In
rare cases at the highest levels of
corrective action, this action may be
noticeable to the driver. If so, a DIC
message might be displayed. If a
battery message is displayed, it is
recommended that the driver reduce
the electrical loads as much as
possible. See
Driver Information Center
(DIC) (Base Level) 0116 or
Driver Information Center (DIC)
(Uplevel) 0119.
Battery Power Protection
This feature helps prevent the battery
from being drained, if the interior
courtesy lamps or reading lamps are
accidentally left on. If any of these
lamps are left on, they automatically
turn off after 10 minutes, if the

{Warning
Rear end spoilers may break under
pressure, resulting in property
damage or injury. Do not push the
vehicle by the spoiler or use the
spoiler as a handle.
Ignition Positions
The vehicle has an electronic keyless
ignition with pushbutton start.
The Remote Key must be in the
vehicle for the system to operate.
If the pushbutton start is not working,
the vehicle may be near a strong radio
antenna signal causing interference tothe Keyless Access system. See
Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation
0 7.
To shift out of P (Park), the vehicle
must be on and the brake pedal must
be applied.
Stopping the Engine/OFF (No
Indicator Lights) : When the vehicle
is stopped, press ENGINE START/
STOP once to turn the engine off.
If the vehicle is in P (Park), the
ignition will turn off, and Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) will remain
active. See Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) 0243.
If the vehicle has an automatic
transmission, and is not in P (Park),
the ignition will return to ACC/
ACCESSORY and display a message in
the Driver Information Center (DIC).
When the vehicle is shifted into
P (Park), the ignition system will
turn OFF.
If the vehicle has a manual
transmission and is stationary, the
ignition will turn off, and Retained Accessory Power (RAP) will remain
active. See
Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) 0243.
The vehicle may have an electric
steering column lock. The lock is
activated when the vehicle is switched
to OFF and the driver door is opened.
A sound may be heard as the lock
actuates or releases. The steering
column lock may not release with the
wheels turned off center. If this
happens, the vehicle may not start.
Move the steering wheel from left to
right while attempting to start the
vehicle. If this does not work, the
vehicle needs service.
Do not turn the engine off when the
vehicle is moving. This will cause a
loss of power assist in the brake and
steering systems and disable the
airbags.
If the vehicle must be shut off in an
emergency: 1. Brake using a firm and steady pressure. Do not pump the brakes
repeatedly. This may deplete power
assist, requiring increased brake
pedal force.

240 DRIVING AND OPERATING
Caution
Do not try to shift to P (Park) if the
vehicle is moving. If you do, you
could damage the transmission.
Shift to P (Park) only when the
vehicle is stopped.
Manual Transmission
The shift lever should be in Neutral
and the parking brake engaged. Hold
the clutch pedal down to the floor,
press the brake pedal, and start the
engine.
Starting the Vehicle 1. For vehicles with an automatic transmission, press the brake pedal,
then press ENGINE START/STOP
on the instrument panel. For a
manual transmission, place the
shift lever in Neutral with the
parking brake engaged. Hold the
clutch pedal down to the floor,
press the brake pedal, then press

If the remote key is not in the
vehicle, if there is interference, or if
the remote key battery is low, a
Driver Information Center (DIC) message will display. See
Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System
Operation 07.
Caution
Cranking the engine for long
periods of time, by pressing
ENGINE START/STOP immediately
after cranking has ended, can
overheat and damage the cranking
motor, and drain the battery. Wait
at least 15 seconds between each
try, to let the cranking motor
cool down.
2. If the engine does not start after five to 10 seconds, especially in
very cold weather (below −18 °C or
0 °F), it could be flooded with too
much gasoline. Try pushing the
accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor and hold it there, then press
ENGINE START/STOP for up to a
maximum of 15 seconds. Wait at
least 15 seconds between each try,
to allow the cranking motor to cool
down. When the engine starts, let
go of the button and the
accelerator. If the vehicle starts
briefly but then stops again, do the same thing. This clears the extra
gasoline from the engine. Do not
race the engine immediately after
starting it. Operate the engine and
transmission gently until the oil
warms up and lubricates all
moving parts.
Stopping the Engine
If the vehicle has an automatic
transmission, move the shift lever to
P (Park) and press and hold ENGINE
START/STOP on the instrument panel,
until the engine shuts off. If the shift
lever is not in P (Park), the engine
shuts off and the ignition goes to
ACC/ACCESSORY. The DIC displays
SHIFT TO PARK. Once the shift lever
is moved to P (Park), the vehicle
turns off.
If the vehicle has a manual
transmission, before getting out of the
vehicle, shift to 1 (First) or R (Reverse)
and apply the parking brake. Then
turn off the ignition off by pressing
ENGINE START/STOP and release the
clutch pedal when the engine has
stopped.
