NO FOBS DETECTED
This message displays if the vehicle
does not detect the presence of a
keyless access transmitter when
you have attempted to start the
vehicle or a vehicle door has just
closed. The following conditions
may cause this message to appear:
.Driver-added equipment plugged
into the accessory power outlet
on the center console is causing
interference. Examples of these
devices are cell phones and cell
phone chargers, two-way radios,
power inverters, or similar items.
Try moving the keyless access
transmitter away from these
devices when starting the
vehicle. In addition, PDA devices
and remote garage and gate
openers may also generate
Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI) that may interfere with
the keyless access transmitter.
Do not carry the keyless access
transmitter in the same pocket or
bag as these devices.

.The vehicle is experiencing
Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI). Some
locations, such as airports,
automatic toll booths, and some
gas stations have EMI fields
which may interfere with the
keyless access transmitter.
If moving the transmitter to
different locations within the
vehicle does not help, place
the transmitter in the glove
box transmitter pocket with the
buttons facing to the right and
then press the START button.
.The vehicle's battery voltage is
low. The battery voltage must be
above 10 volts for the keyless
access transmitter to be
detected properly.
NO FOB - OFF OR RUN?
This message displays when the
keyless access transmitter is not
detected inside the vehicle while
you are trying to turn the ignition
off. The vehicle may be near a
strong radio antenna signal causing
the keyless access system to be
jammed. The vehicle will remain
in ACCESSORY until the vehicle
is turned off or is restarted,
or five minutes has expired. If you
turn the ignition off and you cannot
find the keyless access transmitter,
you will not be able to restart the
vehicle. The keyless access
transmitter needs to be inside of the
vehicle in order for the vehicle to
start. SeeStarting the Engine on
page 9‑21 for more information.

9-22 Driving and Operating
Cell phone chargers can interfere
with the operation of the Keyless
Access System. Battery chargers
should not be plugged in when
starting or turning off the engine.
To start the vehicle, do the following:
1. For vehicles with an automatictransmission, with your foot
on the brake pedal, press the
START button located on the
instrument panel. For vehicles
with a manual transmission, you
must also press in the clutch
pedal while pressing the START
button.
If there is not a keyless access
transmitter in the vehicle or if
there is something causing
interference with it, the DIC will
display NO FOBS DETECTED.
See Key and Lock Messages on
page 5‑42 for more information. 2. When the engine begins
cranking, let go of the button and
the engine cranks automatically
until it starts. If the battery in the
keyless access transmitter is
weak, the DIC displays FOB
BATTERY LOW. You can still
drive the vehicle.
See “Battery Replacement”
under Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) System Operation on
page 2‑3 for more information.
If the fob battery is dead, you
need to insert the fob into
the fob slot to enable engine
starting. See “NO FOBS
DETECTED” underKey and
Lock Messages on page 5‑42.
3. 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. 4. If the engine does not start and
no DIC message is displayed,
wait 15 seconds before trying
again to let the cranking motor
cool down.
If the engine does not start after
5-10 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 while cranking for up
to 15 seconds maximum. Wait at
least 15 seconds between each
try, to allow the cranking motor
to cool down. When the engine
starts, let go of the accelerator.
If the vehicle starts briefly but
then stops again, repeat these
steps. This clears the extra
gasoline from the engine.

Driving and Operating 9-23
Notice:Cranking the engine for
long periods of time, by pressing
the START button 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 allow the
cranking motor to cool down.
The vehicle has a
Computer-Controlled
Cranking System. This feature
assists in starting the engine
and protects components.
Once cranking has been initiated,
the engine continues cranking
for a few seconds or until the vehicle
starts. If the engine does not start,
cranking automatically stops after
15 seconds to prevent cranking
motor damage. To prevent gear
damage, this system also prevents
cranking if the engine is already
running. Notice:
The engine is designed
to work with the electronics in
the vehicle. If electrical parts
or accessories are added, you
could change the way the engine
operates. Before adding electrical
equipment, check with your
dealer. If you do not, the engine
might not perform properly. Any
resulting damage would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Stopping the Engine
If the vehicle has an automatic
transmission, move the shift lever
to P (Park) and press and hold the
Acc. (Off/Accessory) button, located
on the instrument panel, until the
engine shuts off. If the shift lever
is not in P (Park), the engine shuts off and the vehicle goes into the
Accessory Mode. The DIC displays
SHIFT TO PARK. Once the shifter is
moved to P (Park), the vehicle turns
off. If the vehicle has a manual
transmission, it is recommended
that you move the shift lever to
R (Reverse) and set the parking
brake after you turn off the engine
by pressing and holding the Acc.
(Off/Accessory) button.
If the keyless access transmitter is
not detected inside the vehicle when
it is turned to off, the DIC displays
NO FOB
–OFF OR RUN?.
