Stopping The Engine
Vehicles Equipped With Electronic Key (Keyless Enter-
N-Go):
To shut off the engine with vehicle speed greater than
5 mph (8 km/h), you must push and hold the ignition 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 RUN position.
Turning Off the car (placing the ignition from the RUN
position to the STOP position), the power supply to the
accessories are maintained for a period of three minutes.
Opening the driver side door with the ignition in RUN will
sound a short chime that reminds the driver to place the
ignition to STOP.
When the ignition is in the STOP/OFF position, the win-
dow switches remains active for three minutes. Opening a
front door will cancel this function.
After severe driving, idle the engine to allow the tempera-
ture inside the engine compartment to cool before shutting
off the engine.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER IF EQUIPPED
The engine block heater warms the engine and permits
quicker starts in cold weather.
Connect the cord to a 110-115 Volt AC electrical outlet with
a grounded, three-wire extension cord.
For ambient temperatures below 0°F (-18°C), the engine
block heater is recommended. For ambient temperatures
below -20°F (-29°C), the engine block heater is required.
The engine block heater cord is routed under the hood,
behind to the driver’s side headlamp. Follow the steps
below to properly use the engine block heater:
1. Locate the engine block heater cord (behind the driver’s
side headlamp).
2. Undo the hook-and-loop strap that secures the heater
cord in place.
3. Pull the cord to the front of the vehicle and plug it into
a grounded, three-wire extension cord.
4. After the vehicle is running, reattach the cord to the
hook-and-loop strap, and properly stow away behind
the driver’s side headlamp.
