checked under the hood.  Charging System Telltale
This telltale shows the status
of the electrical charging sys-
tem. If the telltale stays on or comes
on while driving, turn off some of the
vehicle's non-essential electrical de-
vices or increase engine speed (if at
idle). If the charging system telltale
remains on, it means that the vehicle
is experiencing a problem with the
charging system. Obtain SERVICE
IMMEDIATELY. See an authorized
dealer.
If jump starting is required, refer to
“Jump Starting Procedures” in “What
To Do In Emergencies”.
 Electronic Throttle Control
(ETC) Telltale
This telltale informs you of

overheating will cause the tempera-
ture gauge to pass H,the telltale will
167

continuously flash and a continuous
chime will occur until the engine is
allowed to cool.
If the telltale turns on while driving,
safely pull over and stop the vehicle. If
the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also,
shift the transmission into NEUTRAL
and idle the vehicle. If the tempera-
ture reading does not return to nor-
mal, turn the engine off immediately
and call for service. Refer to “If Your
Engine Overheats” in “What To Do In
Emergencies” for more information.
 Transmission Temperature
Warning Telltale
This telltale indicates that
the transmission fluid tem-
perature is running hot. This
may occur with severe usage,
such as trailer towing. If this telltale

gine oil change indicator system. The
“Oil Change Due” message will flash
in the EVIC display for approxi-
mately 10 seconds after a single chime
has sounded to indicate the next
scheduled oil change interval. The en-
gine oil change indicator system is
duty cycle based, which means the

WARNING!
 Never pour fuel or other flam- mable liquids into the throttle
body air inlet opening in an at-
tempt to start the vehicle. This
could result in a flash fire causing
serious personal injury.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. Ve-
hicles equipped with an auto-
matic transmission cannot be
started this way. Unburned fuel
could enter the catalytic con-
verter and once the engine has
started, ignite and damage the
converter and vehicle.
 If the vehicle has a discharged battery, booster cables may be
used to obtain a start from a
booster battery or the battery in
another vehicle. This type of start
can be dangerous if done improp-
erly. Refer to “Jump Starting” in
“What To Do In Emergencies” for
further information.
196

Clearing A Flooded Engine (Using
ENGINE START/STOP Button)
If the engine fails to start after you
have followed the “Normal Starting”
or “Extreme Cold Weather" proce-
dures, it may be flooded. To clear any
excess fuel:
1. Press and hold the brake pedal.
2. Press the accelerator pedal all the
way to the floor and hold it.
3. Press and release the ENGINE
START/STOP button once.
The starter motor will engage auto-
matically, run for 10 seconds, and
then disengage. Once this occurs, re-
lease the accelerator pedal and the
brake pedal, wait 10 to 15 seconds,
then repeat the “Normal Starting”
procedure.
After Starting
The idle speed is controlled automati-
cally and it will decrease as the engine
warms up.NORMAL STARTING –
DIESEL ENGINE
Observe the following when the en-
gine is operating.
 All message center lights are off.
 Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
is off.
 Low Oil Pressure Light is off.
Cold Weather Precautions
If the outside temperature is very low,
the diesel fuel thickens due to the
formation of parrafin clots and could
clog the diesel filter. In order to avoid
these problems, different types of die-
sel fuel are distributed according to
the season: summer type, winter type
and arctic type (cold, mountainous
areas).
If refuelling with diesel fuel whose
specifications are not suitable for the
outside temperature, it is advisable to
mix TUTELA DIESEL ART additive
in the proportions shown on the con-
tainer with the fuel. Pour the additive
into the tank before the fuel. When using or parking the vehicle for
a long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel. In this case, it
is also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.
Battery Blanket Usage
A battery loses 60% of its cranking
power as the battery temperature de-
creases to ­18°C. For the same de-
crease in temperature, the engine re-
quires twice as much power to crank
at the same RPM. The use of battery
blankets will greatly increase starting
capability at low temperatures.
Engine Starting Procedure
WARNING!NEVER pour fuel or other flam-
mable liquid into the air inlet open-
ing in an attempt to start the vehicle.
This could result in a flash fire caus-
ing serious personal injury.1. The shift lever must be in the
NEUTRAL or PARK position before
you can start the engine.
197

AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSIONCAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may
occur if the following precautions
are not observed:
Shift into PARK only after the ve-
hicle has come to a complete stop. Shift into or out of REVERSEonly after the vehicle has come to
a complete stop and the engine is
at idle speed.
 Do not shift between PARK, RE-
VERSE, NEUTRAL or DRIVE
when the engine is above idle
speed.
Before shifting into any gear, make
sure your foot is firmly pressing
the brake pedal.
NOTE: You must press and hold
the brake pedal while shifting out
of PARK.
WARNING!
 It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or NEUTRAL if the engine
speed is higher than idle speed. If
your foot is not firmly pressing on
the brake pedal, the vehicle could
accelerate quickly forward or in
reverse. You could lose control of
the vehicle and hit someone or
something. Only shift into gear
when the engine is idling nor-
mally and your foot is firmly
pressing on the brake pedal.
 Unintended movement of a ve- hicle could injure those in or near
the vehicle. As with all vehicles,
you should never exit a vehicle
while the engine is running. Be-
fore exiting a vehicle, always ap-
ply the parking brake, shift the
transmission into PARK, and turn
the engine OFF. When the igni-
tion is in the OFF position, the
shift lever is locked in PARK, se-
curing the vehicle against un-
wanted movement.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an un-
locked vehicle. Allowing children
to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of rea-
sons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Chil-
dren 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, and do not leave a
vehicle equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go in the ACC or ON/
RUN position. A child could oper-
ate power windows, other con-
trols, or move the vehicle.
