Automatic Engine Shutdown
Your vehicle has a feature that automatically shuts down the engine if it
has been idling for an extended period. The ignition also turns off in
order to save battery power. Before the engine shuts down, a message
appears in the information display showing a timer counting down from
30 seconds. If you do not intervene within 30 seconds, the engine shuts
down. Another message appears in the information display to inform you
that the engine has shut down in order to save fuel. Start your vehicle as
you normally do.
Automatic Engine Shutdown Override
Note:You cannot permanently switch off the automatic engine shutdown
feature. When you switch it off temporarily, it turns on at the next
ignition cycle.
You can stop the engine shutdown, or reset the timer, at any point
before the 30-second countdown has expired by doing any of the
following:
•You can reset the timer by interacting with your vehicle (such as
pressing the brake pedal or accelerator pedal).
•You can temporarily switch off the shutdown feature any time the
ignition is on (for the current ignition cycle only). Use the
information display to do so.

to temporarily switch the feature off (for the current ignition cycle
only).

Should your vehicle shut off after a collision, you may restart your
vehicle by doing the following:
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to re-enable fuel pump.
Note:If your vehicle has the push button start system, press the
stop/start button twice to reactivate the fuel system.
JUMP-STARTING THE VEHICLE
WARNING:The gases around the battery can explode if exposed
to flames, sparks, or lit cigarettes. An explosion could result in
injury or vehicle damage.
WARNING:Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can burn skin,
eyes and clothing, if contacted.
Do not attempt to push-start your automatic transmission vehicle.
Automatic transmissions do not have push-start capability. Attempting to
push-start a vehicle with an automatic transmission may cause
transmission damage.
When the battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed, the
automatic transmission must relearn its shift strategy. As a result, the
transmission may exhibit a combination of firm and soft shifts. This
operation is considered normal and will not affect function or durability
of the transmission. Over time, the adaptive learning process will fully
update transmission operation.
Preparing Your Vehicle
Note:Use only a 12–volt supply to start your vehicle.
Note:Do not disconnect the battery of the disabled vehicle as this could
damage the vehicle’s electrical system.
1. Park the booster vehicle close to the hood of the disabled vehicle making
sure the two vehicles do not touch. Set the parking brake on both vehicles
and stay clear of the engine cooling fan and other moving parts.
2. Check all battery terminals. Remove the positive terminal cover (if
equipped) and any excessive corrosion before you attach the battery
cables. Ensure that vent caps are tight and level.
3. Turn the heater fan on in both vehicles to protect from any electrical
surges. Turn all other accessories off.
