STARTING A GASOLINE
ENGINE
When you start the engine, the idle
speed increases, this helps to warm
up the engine. If the engine idle speed
does not slow down automatically,
have your vehicle checked by an
authorized dealer.
Before starting the engine, check the
following:
• Make sure all occupants havefastened their safety belts.
• Make sure the headlamps and electrical accessories are off. • Make sure the parking brake is on.
• Put the transmission in P.
Note:
Do not touch the accelerator
pedal.
1. Fully press the brake pedal.
2. Press the button.
The system does not function if:
• The key frequencies are jammed.
• The key battery has no charge.
If you are unable to start the engine,
do the following:
E155835
1. Remove the rubber covering (A) in the cupholder. Place the remote in
the backup slot (B) at the bottom
of the cupholder.
2. With the key in this position, press the brake pedal, then the START
button to switch the ignition on
and start your vehicle.
Fast Restart
The fast restart feature allows you to
restart the engine within 20 seconds
of switching it off, even if a valid key
is not present.
152
Starting and Stopping the Engine

Within 20 seconds of switching the
engine off, press the brake pedal and
press the button. After 20 seconds
have expired, you can no longer restart
the engine without the key present
inside your vehicle.
Once the engine has started, it
remains running until you press the
button, even if the system does not
detect a valid key. If you open and
close a door while the engine is
running, the system searches for a
valid key. You cannot restart the
engine if the system does not detect
a valid key within 20 seconds.
Failure to Start
If you cannot start the engine after
three attempts, wait 10 seconds and
follow this procedure:
1. Fully press the brake pedal.
2. Fully press the accelerator pedaland hold it there.
3. Start the engine. Note:
You can crank the engine for a
total of 60 seconds (without the
engine starting) before the starting
system temporarily disables. The 60
seconds does not have to be all at
once. For example, if you crank the
engine three times for 20 seconds each
time, without the engine starting, you
reached the 60-second time limit. A
message appears in the information
display alerting you that you exceeded
the cranking time. You cannot attempt
to start the engine for at least 15
minutes. After 15 minutes, you are
limited to a 15-second engine cranking
time. You need to wait 60 minutes
before you can crank the engine for 60
seconds again.Automatic Engine Shutdown
If your vehicle is equipped with a
keyless ignition, it 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.
153
Starting and Stopping the Engine

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

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. See
Information Displays (page 101).
• During the countdown before engine shutdown, you are
prompted to press OK or RESET
(depending on your type of

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

Stopping the Engine When
Your Vehicle is Moving
WARNING
Switching off the engine when
the vehicle is still moving will
result in a loss of brake and steering
assistance. The steering will not lock,
but higher effort will be required.

monoxide is present in exhaust fumes.
Take precautions to avoid its
dangerous effects.

Starting and Stopping the Engine

Driving In Special Conditions
With All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
AWD vehicles are equipped for driving
on sand, snow, mud and rough roads
and have operating characteristics
that are somewhat different from
conventional vehicles, both on and off
the highway.
Under severe operating conditions,
the A/C may cycle on and off to
protect overheating of the engine.
Basic operating principles in
special conditions
• Drive slower in strong crosswindswhich can affect the normal
steering characteristics of your
vehicle.
• Be extremely careful when driving on pavement made slippery by
loose sand, water, gravel, snow or
ice. If Your Vehicle Goes Off the Edge of
the Pavement
• If your vehicle goes off the edge of
the pavement, slow down, but
avoid severe brake application,
ease the vehicle back onto the
pavement only after reducing your
speed. Do not turn the steering
wheel too sharply while returning
to the road surface.
• It may be safer to stay on the apron or shoulder of the road and
slow down gradually before
returning to the pavement. You
may lose control if you do not slow
down or if you turn the steering
wheel too sharply or abruptly.
• It often may be less risky to strike small objects, such as highway
reflectors, with minor damage to
your vehicle rather than attempt a
sudden return to the pavement
which could cause the vehicle to
slide sideways out of control or
rollover. Remember, your safety
and the safety of others should be
your primary concern.
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck
WARNINGS
Always set the parking brake
fully and make sure the
transmission is in P (Park). Turn the
ignition to the lock position or turn the
vehicle off using the start/stop button
and remove the key whenever you
leave your vehicle.

Batteries contain sulfuric acid
which can burn skin, eyes and
clothing, if contacted.
Use only an adequate-sized
cable with insulated clamps.
Preparing Your Vehicle
Note: 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.
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.
Park the booster vehicle close to the
hood of the disabled vehicle, making
sure the two vehicles do not touch.
Turn all accessories off.
Connecting the Jumper Cables
WARNING
Do not attach the cables to fuel
lines, engine rocker covers, the
intake manifold or electrical
components as grounding points. Stay
clear of moving parts. To avoid reverse
polarity connections, make sure that
you correctly identify the positive (+)
and negative (-) terminals on both the
disabled and booster vehicles before
connecting the cables.
Note: In the illustration, the bottom
vehicle represents the booster vehicle.
