STARTING
Positions of the ignition
1. OFF/LOCK, shuts off the engine
and all accessories/locks the steering
wheel, gearshift lever and allows key
removal.
2. ACC, allows the electrical
accessories such as the radio to
operate while the engine is not
running. This position also unlocks
the steering wheel.
3. ON, all electrical circuits
operational. Warning lights illuminated. Key position when driving.
4. START, cranks the engine. Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.
Preparing to start your vehicle
Engine starting is controlled by the powertrain control system. This
system meets all Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment standard
requirements regulating the impulse electrical field strength of radio
noise.
When starting a fuel-injected engine, avoid pressing the accelerator
before or during starting. Only use the accelerator when you have
difficulty starting the engine. For more information on starting the
vehicle, refer toStarting the enginein this chapter.
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.
Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system heats up the engine
compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire.
Do not start your vehicle in a closed garage or in other enclosed
areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open the garage door
before you start the engine. SeeGuarding against exhaust fumesin
this chapter for more instructions.

The system detects obstacles up to
2 meters (6 ft.) from the rear
bumper with a decreased coverage
area at the outer corners of the
bumper, (refer to the figures for
approximate zone coverage areas).
As you move closer to the obstacle,
the rate of the tone increases. When
the obstacle is less than 25.0 cm (10
in.) away, the tone will sound
continuously. If the system detects a
stationary or receding object further
than 25.0 cm (10 in.) from the side
of the vehicle, the tone will sound
for only three seconds. Once the
system detects an object
approaching, the tone will sound
again. If the Rear Park Assist
detects an object and the radio is
on, the radio volume will decrease
while the tone sounds. When the
tone stops sounding, or if the vehicle is shifted out of R (Reverse), the
radio will go back to the previously set volume level.
The system automatically turns on when the gear selector is placed in R
(Reverse) and the ignition is ON. A control in the message center allows
the driver to disable the system only when the ignition is ON, and the
gear selector is in R (Reverse). Refer toMessage centerin theDriver
Controlschapter for more information.
Keep the Rear Park Assist sensors (located on the rear
bumper/fascia) free from snow, ice and large accumulations of
dirt (do not clean the sensors with sharp objects). If the sensors
are covered, it will affect the accuracy of the system.
If your vehicle sustains damage to the rear bumper/fascia, leaving
it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing
inaccurate measurement of obstacles or false alarms.

ENGINE COOLANT
Checking engine coolant
The concentration and level of engine coolant should be checked at the
mileage intervals listed in the scheduled maintenance guide. The coolant
concentration should be maintained at 50/50 coolant and distilled water,
which equates to a freeze point of -36É C (-34É F). Coolant concentration
testing is possible with a hydrometer or antifreeze tester (such as the
Rotunda Battery and Antifreeze Tester, 014±R1060). The level of coolant
should be maintained at the ªcold fullº of ªcold fill rangeº level in the
coolant reservoir. If the level falls below, refer to instructions in the
Adding engine coolantsection.
Your vehicle was factory-filled with a 50/50 engine coolant and water
concentration. If the concentration of coolant falls below 40% or above
60%, the engine parts could become damaged or not work properly.A
50±50 mixture of coolant and water provides the following:
²Freeze protection down to -36É C (-34É F).
²Boiling protection up to 129É C (265É F).
²Protection against rust and other forms of corrosion.
²Enables calibrated gauges to work properly.

Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
When the tire pressure monitoring
system warning light is lit, one or
more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pressure as indicated in the vehicle's tire
information placard. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's
handling and stopping ability. Each tire should be checked monthly, the
spare tire every six months. Tire pressure should be set when cold to the
recommended inflation pressure as specified in the vehicle placard and
owner's manual.
Note:This vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) which monitors tire pressure in each pneumatic tire. The
pressure in each tire is dependent upon several factors, one of them
being the contained air temperature (temperature of the air inside the
tire). As the contained air temperature increases, the tire pressure also
increases. While driving in a normal manner, a typical passenger tire
inflation pressure may increase approximately 14 to 28 kPa (2 to 4 psi)
from a cold start situation. This increase in tire pressure is due to an
increase in the contained air temperature. Contained air temperature is
dependent upon several factors such as rate of tire rotation, tire
deflection, amount of braking, etc. In similar manner, the tire pressure
will decrease if the contained air temperature decreases. For example, if
the vehicle is stationary over night with the outside temperature
significantly lower than the daytime temperature, the tire pressure may
decrease approximately 20.7 kPa (3 psi) for a drop of 16.6É C (30É F) in
ambient temperature. This lower pressure value may be detected by the
TPMS as being significantly lower than the cold placard pressure, and
activate the TPMS warning for low tire pressure. If the low warning light
is on, visually check each tire to verify that no tire is flat. If one or more
tires are flat, repair of fix as necessary. If all tires appear to be inflated,
carefully drive the vehicle to the nearest location where air can be added
to the tires. Turn the ignition to the ªoffº position. Inflate all the tires to
the recommended cold pressure.
The system uses radio-frequency to monitor the tire pressure on all tires
excluding the spare tire. The sensors transmit the tire pressure readings
to the receiver module located in the vehicle. The receiver module then
electronically transmits the status to the message center. For more tire
warning information, refer to theMessage Centerin theDriver controls
chapter.
