220 DRIVING AND OPERATING
The idle speed will go down as the
engine gets warm. Do not race the
engine immediately after
starting it.
If the remote key is not in the
vehicle, if there is interference, or if
the remote key battery is low, a
Driver Information Center (DIC)
will display a message. See Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System
Operation 0 7.
Caution
Cranking the engine for long
periods of time, by trying to start
the engine 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 gasoline. Try pushing the
accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor and holding it there as you
press ENGINE START/STOP. 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 gasoline from the
engine. Do not race the engine
immediately after starting it.
Operate the engine and
transmission gently until the oil
warms up and lubricates all
moving parts.

Stop/Start System

If equipped, the Stop/Start system will
shut off the engine to help conserve
fuel. It has components designed for
the increased number of starts.
Warning
The automatic engine Stop/Start
feature causes the engine to shut
off while the vehicle is still on. Do
not exit the vehicle before shifting
to P (Park). The vehicle may restart
and move unexpectedly. Always
Warning (Continued)
shift to P (Park), and then turn the
ignition off before exiting the
vehicle.
Auto Engine Stop/Start
When the brakes are applied and the
vehicle is at a complete stop, the
engine may turn off. When stopped,
the tachometer displays AUTO STOP.
See Tachometer 0 95. When the brake
pedal is released or the accelerator
pedal is pressed, the engine will
restart.
To maintain vehicle performance,
other conditions may cause the engine
to automatically restart before the
brake pedal is released.
Auto Stops may not occur and/or Auto
Starts may occur because:
The climate control settings require
the engine to be running to cool or
heat the vehicle interior.
The vehicle battery needs to charge.
The vehicle battery has recently
been disconnected.
