Caution (Continued)
resulting damage would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. See
Add-On Electrical Equipment 0 245.
Starting Procedure
1. With the Keyless Access system,
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter must be in the
vehicle. Press ENGINE START/
STOP, if equipped, with the brake
pedal applied. When the engine
begins cranking, let go of the
button.
The idle speed will go down as
the engine gets warm. Do not
race the engine immediately
after starting it.
If the RKE transmitter is not in
the vehicle, if there is
interference, or if the RKE
battery is low, a Driver
Information Center (DIC) will
display a message. See Key and
Lock Messages 0 138 and Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System
Operation 0 28.
Caution
Cranking the engine for long
periods of time, by returning the
ignition to the START position
immediately after cranking has
ended, can overheat and damage
the cranking motor, and drain the
battery. Wait at least 15 seconds
between each try, to let the
cranking motor cool down.
2. If the engine does not start after
five to 10 seconds, especially in
very cold weather (below 18 °C
or 0 °F), it could be flooded with
too much petrol. Try pushing the
accelerator pedal all the way to
the floor and holding it there as
you press ENGINE START/STOP,
if equipped. Wait at least
15 seconds between each try, to
allow the cranking motor to cool
down. When the engine starts,
release the accelerator. If the
vehicle starts briefly but then
stops again, do the same thing.
This clears the extra petrol from
the engine. Do not race the
DRIVING AND OPERATING
engine immediately after starting
it. Operate the engine and
transmission gently until the oil
warms up and lubricates all
moving parts.
Stop/Start System
Warning
Exiting the vehicle without first
shifting into P (Park) may cause the
vehicle to move. You or others may
be injured. Because the vehicle has
the auto engine stop/start feature,
the vehicle's engine might seem to
be shut off; however, once the brake
pedal is released, the engine will
start up again.
Shift to P (Park) and turn the
ignition to LOCK/OFF, before exiting
the vehicle.
If equipped with the 2.0L L4 engine,
the vehicle has a fuel saving stop/start
system to shut off the engine to help
conserve fuel.
