Extended idling at high engine speeds

in the engine and exhaust system, creating
the risk of fire or other damage.
Do not park, idle or drive your vehicle
on dry grass or other dry ground cover.
The emission system heats up the engine
compartment and exhaust system, creating
the risk of fire.
Do not start the vehicle in a closed
garage or in other enclosed areas.

Starting and Stopping the Engine

If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately 5 mi (8 km)
after you reconnect it. This is because the
engine management system must realign
itself with the engine. You can disregard any
unusual driving characteristics during this
period.
The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise.
When you start your vehicle, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal until the ready to drive
indicator illuminates. Only use the
accelerator pedal when you have difficulty
starting your vehicle.

KEYLESS STARTING

Note: The keyless starting system may not
function if the key is close to metal objects
or electronic devices such as cellular
phones.
