STARTING PROCEDURES
Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust the
inside and outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt, and if
present, instruct any other occupant to buckle their seat belt.
WARNING!
Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving unat-
tended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number
of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or
fatally injured. Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle (or in a location accessible to children), and do
not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with
Keyless Enter-N-Go in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A
child could operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.
CAUTION!
•Long periods of engine idling, especially at higher
than normal engine idle speeds, can cause excessive
exhaust temperatures, which can damage your ve-
hicle. Do not leave your vehicle unattended with the
engine running.
• Running an engine with a low oil level can cause
severe damage. Check the engine oil level at every
fuel fill-up.
Normal Starting
CAUTION!
The engine in your vehicle is designed for operation
down to 0°F (-18°C). Starting the engine below 0°F
(-18°C) coolant temperature creates a potential for
scuffing or seizing of internal components in this high
performance engine. To prevent engine damage, do not
start the engine at temperatures below 0°F (-18°C).
