NOTE:
In case the ignition switch does not change with the push of a button, the RKE
transmitter (Key Fob) may have a low or dead battery. In this situation a back up
method can be used to operate the ignition switch. Put the nose side (side opposite
of the emergency key) of the Key Fob against the ENGINE START/STOP button and
push to operate the ignition switch.
• The Ignition Node Module (IGNM) op-erates similar to an ignition switch. It
has four operating positions, three with
detents and one that is spring-loaded.
The detent positions are OFF, ACC, and
ON/RUN. The START position is a
spring-loaded momentary contact po-
sition. When released from the START
position, the switch automatically re-
turns to the ON/RUN position.

Doors/Liftgate
• Press the LOCK button once to lock allthe doors and the liftgate. Press the
UNLOCK button once to unlock the
driver’s door only and twice within five

WARNING!
• When leaving the vehicle, always remove the Key Fob from the ignition and lock
your vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever.
• 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.
REMOTE START
• Press the REMOTE START buttonx2on the Key Fob twice within five seconds.
Pressing the REMOTE START button a third time shuts the engine off.
• To drive the vehicle, press the UNLOCK button, insert the key in the ignition and turn to the ON/RUN position.
• With remote start, the engine will only run for 15 minutes (timeout) unless the ignition key is placed in the ON/RUN position.
• The vehicle must be started with the key after two consecutive timeouts.
WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon
Monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious injury or death when inhaled.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause serious injury or
death.

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission and
axle) in your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles
(100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws
contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be
detrimental and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy
conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate
conditions under which vehicle operations will occur. For the recommended viscosity
and quality grades, refer to “Maintaining Your Vehicle.”
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers)
of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not
interpreted as an indication of an engine problem or malfunction.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result.
TURN SIGNAL/HIGH BEAM LEVER
Turn Signals/Lane Change Assist
Tap the lever up or down once and the
turn signal (right or left) will flash three
times and automatically turn off.
Flash To Pass
• Pull the lever toward you to activatethe high beams. The high beams will
remain on until the lever is released.
High Beam Operation
• Push the lever forward to activate thehigh beams.
NOTE:
For safe driving, turn off the high beams
when oncoming traffic is present to pre-
vent headlight glare and as a courtesy to
other motorists.

Air Recirculation
• Use Recirculation for maximum A/C operation.
• For window defogging, turn the Recirculation button off.
• If the Recirculation button is pushed while in the AUTO mode, the indicator lightmay flash three times to indicate the cabin air is being controlled automatically.
Heated Mirrors
The mirrors are heated to melt frost or ice. This feature is activated whenever you turn
on the rear window defroster.
ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE
• Your vehicle is equipped with a newElectric Park Brake System (EPB) that
offers greater convenience.
• The parking brake switch is located in the center console.
• To apply the park brake manually, pull up on the switch momentarily. The
BRAKE warning lamp in the instru-
ment cluster and an indicator on the
switch will illuminate.
• To release the park brake manually, the ignition switch must be in RUN.
Then put your foot on the brake pedal
and push the park brake switch down
momentarily. Once the park brake is
fully disengaged, the BRAKE warning
lamp and the switch indicator will extinguish.
• The park brake can also be automatically released. With the engine running and the transmission in gear, release the brake pedal and depress the throttle pedal.
For safety reasons, your seatbelt must also be fastened.
• The new Auto Park Brake feature can be used to apply the park brake automati- cally every time you park the vehicle. Auto Park Brake can be enabled and disabled
in the Setting menu in UConnect
®.
• Safehold is a new feature that will automatically apply the park brake under certain conditions. The EPB monitors the status of the driver’s seat belt, driver’s
door and pedal positions to determine that you may have exited while the vehicle
is still capable of moving, and will then automatically apply the park brake to
prevent the vehicle from rolling.
• Refer to the Starting and Operating section of your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for further details.
