GENERAL INFORMATION ON
RADIO FREQUENCIES
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and with Licence exempt RSS
Standards of Industry Canada. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
• This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation. WARNING: Changes or
modifications not expressively approved
by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate
the equipment. The term "IC:" before the
radio certification number only signifies
that Industry Canada technical
specifications were met. The typical operating range for your
transmitter is approximately
33 ft (10 m).
Vehicles with the remote start feature will
have a greater range. One of the following
could cause a decrease in operating range:
• Weather conditions.
• Nearby radio towers.
• Structures around the vehicle.
• Other vehicles parked next to your
vehicle.
Other short distance radio transmissions,
for example amateur radios, medical
equipment, wireless headphones, remote
controls and alarm systems can also use
the radio frequency used by your remote
control. If the frequencies are jammed, you
will not be able to use your remote control.
You can lock and unlock the doors with the
key.
Note: Make sure to lock your vehicle before
leaving it unattended.
Note: If you are in range, the remote control
will operate if you press any button
unintentionally.
Note: The remote control contains sensitive
electrical components. Exposure to moisture
or impact may cause permanent damage.

SLIDING DOOR – FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
Why does the power sliding door stop
moving?
The power sliding door stops when it
detects an obstacle. A tone sounds
and the power sliding door starts
moving in the opposite direction. After
you remove the obstacle, you can
continue to operate the power sliding
door.
Why is the power sliding door moving
with reduced speed? You let the power sliding door open
for more than five minutes. Fully close
the power sliding door using the button
on the instrument panel or the power
sliding door handles. Open the power
sliding door as normal.
Why can I not close the power sliding
door? If the power sliding door does not
close, restart the engine and then
close it as normal. See Closing the
Sliding Door From Inside Your
Vehicle (page 83). If the power sliding
door still does not close, manually
close the power sliding door and then
open it as normal. If the power sliding
door still does not close the system
has malfunctioned. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.
What can I do if the power sliding door
does not operate as normal? If there is a malfunction on the power
sliding door, restart the engine. How can I open the sliding door if the
system loses power?
If the sliding door loses power, you
could need to apply more force when
trying to open it. Push the back of the
sliding door and the interior sliding
door handle in opening direction at the
same time and open it as normal.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: Extended idling at high
engine speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire or other
damage. WARNING:
Do not park, idle or
drive your vehicle on dry grass or other
dry ground cover. The emission system
heats up the engine compartment and
exhaust system, creating the risk of fire. WARNING: Do not start the engine
in a closed garage or in other enclosed
areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic.
Always open the garage door before you
start the engine. WARNING:
Exhaust leaks may
result in entry of harmful and potentially
lethal fumes into the passenger
compartment. If you smell exhaust
fumes inside your vehicle, have your
vehicle inspected immediately. Do not
drive if you smell exhaust fumes.
If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately
5 mi
(8 km) after you reconnect it. This is
because the engine management system
must realign itself with the engine. You
can disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.
The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise.
When you start the engine, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal before and during
operation. Only use the accelerator pedal
when you have difficulty starting the
engine. IGNITION SWITCH
Note:
Make sure the key is clean before
inserting it into any lock cylinder.
0
(off) - The ignition is off.
Note: When you switch the ignition off and
leave your vehicle, do not leave your key in
the ignition. This could cause your vehicle
battery to lose charge.
I
(accessory) - Allows the electrical
accessories such as the radio to operate
while the engine is not running.
Note: Do not leave the ignition key in
position I or II (without the engine running)
for too long to avoid vehicle battery losing
charge.
II
(on) - All electrical circuits operational.
Warning lamps and indicators are
illuminated.
III
(start) - cranks the engine. Release the
key as soon as the engine starts.
STARTING A GASOLINE
ENGINE
The speed at which the engine idles
immediately after starting is optimized to
minimize vehicle emissions and maximize
cabin comfort and fuel economy.
