Keyless Ignition Functions — With Driver's Foot Off
The Brake Pedal/Clutch Pedal (In PARK Or
NEUTRAL Position)
The Keyless Ignition feature operates similar to an
ignition switch. It has three positions, OFF, ON/
RUN, and START. To change the ignition positions
without starting the vehicle and use the
accessories, follow these steps starting with the
ignition switch in the OFF position:
1. Push the ENGINE START/STOP button once to
change the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
2. Push the ENGINE START/STOP button a
second time to change the ignition switch to
the OFF position.
Battery Blanket Usage
A battery loses 60% of its cranking power as the
battery temperature decreases to 0°F (-18°C). For
the same decrease in temperature, the engine
requires twice as much power to crank at the same
RPM. The use of battery blankets will greatly
increase starting capability at low temperatures.
Suitable battery blankets are available from an
authorized Mopar® dealer.
Normal Starting Procedure — Keyless
Enter 'n Go™
Observe the instrument panel telltales when
starting the engine.
1. Always apply the parking brake.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal while pushing
the ENGINE START/STOP button once.
NOTE:
A delay of the start of up to five seconds is possible
under very cold conditions. The "Wait to Start"
telltale will be illuminated during the pre-heat
process. When the engine Wait To Start light goes
off the engine will automatically crank.
CAUTION!
If the Water in Fuel Indicator Light remains on, DO
NOT START the engine before the water is drained
from the fuel filters to avoid engine damage.
3. The system will automatically engage the
starter to crank the engine. If the vehicle fails
to start, the starter will disengage automat-
ically after 25 seconds.
STARTING AND OPERATING
4. If you wish to stop the cranking of the engine
prior to the engine starting, push the button
again.
5. Check that the Oil Pressure Warning Light has
turned off.
6. Release the parking brake.
Engine Warm Up
Avoid full throttle operation when the engine is
cold. When starting a cold engine, bring the engine
up to operating speed slowly to allow the oil
pressure to stabilize as the engine warms up.
NOTE:
High-speed, no-load running of a cold engine can
result in excessive white smoke and poor engine
performance. No-load engine speeds should be
kept under 1,200 RPM during the warm-up period,
especially in cold ambient temperature conditions.
