Starting and Stopping the Engine
STEERING WHEEL LOCK
The steering wheel locks automatically
when you leave your vehicle and take the
intelligent access key with you. The
steering wheel unlocks automatically when
you enter your vehicle with the intelligent
access key.
Note: You may need to turn the steering
wheel left or right if the wheel does not
unlock completely. This may happen in
certain situations, such as parking your
vehicle on a steep grade.
STARTING THE 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.
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, you can crank
the engine three times for 20 seconds each,
without the engine starting, to reach the 60
second time limit. If you exceed the cranking
time, a message appears in the information
display to alert you of this. You cannot
attempt to start the engine for at least 15
minutes. After 15 minutes, you have a 15
second time limit to crank the engine. You
need to wait 60 minutes before you crank
the engine again for 60 seconds.
Before starting the engine, check the
following:
•
Make sure all occupants fasten their
seatbelts.
•
Make sure the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off.
