NOTE:
An Extended Park condition occurs when the
vehicle has not been started or driven for at least
30 days.
1. Install a battery charger or jumper cables to
the battery to ensure a full battery charge
during the crank cycle.
2. Place the ignition in the START position and
release it when the engine starts, or for
Keyless Ignition equipped vehicles, press and
hold the brake pedal while pushing the
ENGINE START/STOP button once.
3. If the engine fails to start within 10 seconds,
place the ignition in the OFF position, wait
10 to 15 seconds to allow the starter to cool,
then repeat the Extended Park Starting
procedure.
4. If the engine fails to start after eight attempts,
allow the starter to cool for at least
10 minutes, then repeat the procedure.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not crank
continuously for more than 10 seconds at a
time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again.

NGINE
To shut off the engine with vehicle speed greater
than 5 mph (8 km/h), you must push and hold the
START/STOP button or push the START/STOP
button three times consecutively within a few
seconds. The engine will shut down, and the
ignition will be placed in the ON/RUN position.
Turning off the car (placing the ignition from the
ON/RUN position to the STOP/OFF position), the
power supply to the accessories are maintained for
a period of three minutes.
Opening the driver side door with the ignition in
ON/RUN will sound a short chime that reminds the
driver to place the ignition to STOP/OFF.
When the ignition is placed in the STOP/OFF
position, the window switches remain active for
three minutes. Opening a front door will cancel this
function.

After severe driving, idle the engine to allow the
temperature inside the engine compartment to
cool before shutting off the engine.
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the engine
and drivetrain (transmission and axle) in your
vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles
(500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km),
speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are
desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within
the limits of local traffic laws contributes to a good
break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low
gear can be detrimental and should be avoided.
