. If the engine is very hard to
start because it is flooded,
press the accelerator pedal
all the way to the floor and
hold it. Crank the engine for
five to six seconds.
After cranking the engine,
release the accelerator
pedal. Crank the engine

repeat the above
procedure.Caution
Do not operate the starter for
more than 15 seconds at a time.
If the engine does not start, turn
the key off and wait 10 seconds
before cranking again, otherwise
the starter could be damaged.
4. Allow the engine to idle for at least 30 seconds after starting.
Do not race the engine while
warming it up. Drive at
moderate speed for a short
distance first, especially in cold
weather.
In cold weather, keep the
engine running for a minimum
of two to three minutes before
shutting it off. Starting and
stopping the engine over a
short period of time may make
the vehicle more difficult to
start.
Avoid situations that can lead to
potential battery discharge and
potential no-start conditions
such as: .
Installation or extended use of
electronic accessories that
consume battery power when
the engine is not running (phone
chargers, GPS, DVD
players, etc.).
. Vehicle is not driven regularly
and/or only driven short
distances. In these cases, the
battery may need to be charged
to maintain battery life.
Engine Heater
If equipped, the engine coolant
heater can provide easier starting in
cold weather conditions at or below
−7 °C (20 °F). The engine coolant
heater should be plugged in at least
two hours before starting.

154 Driving and Operating
Each time the engine is started,
or when the shift lever is shifted to
any position other than D (Drive),
the Overdrive off mode will be
automatically turned off.
Accelerator Downshift in D
Position
For passing or hill climbing, press
the accelerator pedal to the floor.
This shifts the transmission down
into a lower gear, depending on the
vehicle speed.
High Fluid Temperature
Protection Mode
If the fluid temperature becomes too
high from climbing a steep grade in
high temperatures, such as towing a
trailer. Engine power and vehicle
speed will be decreased
automatically to reduce the chance
of transmission damage. Vehicle
speed can be controlled with the
accelerator pedal but the engine
and vehicle speed may be limited.Fail Safe
When the fail-safe operation occurs,
the CVT will not be shifted into the
selected driving position.
If the vehicle is driven under
extreme conditions, such as
excessive wheel spinning and
subsequent hard braking, the
fail-safe system may be activated.
The malfunction indicator lamp may
come on to indicate the fail-safe
mode is activated. See
Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (Check Engine
Light) 091. This will occur even if all
electrical circuits are functioning
properly. In this case, place the
ignition switch in the OFF position
and wait for 10 seconds. Then place
the ignition switch back in the ON
position. The vehicle should return
to its normal operating condition. If it
does not return to its normal
operating condition, have a dealer
check the transmission and repair if
necessary.
{Warning
When the high fluid temperature
protection mode or fail-safe
operation occurs, vehicle speed
may be gradually reduced. The
reduced speed may be lower than
other traffic, which could increase
the chance of a collision. Be
especially careful when driving.
If necessary, pull to the side of
the road at a safe place and allow
the transmission to return to
normal operation, or have it
repaired if necessary.

If the airbag has inflated, see What
Will You See after an Airbag

Repair Process
In the event that the vehicle requires
damage repairs, GM recommends
that you take an active role in its
repair. If you have a pre-determined
repair facility of choice, take the
vehicle there, or have it towed there.
Specify to the facility that any
required replacement collision parts
be original equipment parts, either
new Genuine GM parts or recycled
original GM parts. Remember,
recycled parts will not be covered by
the GM vehicle warranty.
Insurance pays the bill for the repair,
but you must live with the repair.
Depending on your policy limits,
your insurance company may
initially value the repair using
aftermarket parts. Discuss this with
the repair professional, and insist on
Genuine GM parts. Remember,
if the vehicle is leased, you may be
obligated to have the vehicle
repaired with Genuine GM parts,
even if your insurance coverage
does not pay the full cost. If another party's insurance
company is paying for the repairs,
you are not obligated to accept a
repair valuation based on that
insurance company's collision policy
repair limits, as you have no
contractual limits with that company.
In such cases, you can have control
of the repair and parts choices as
long as the cost stays within
reasonable limits.
