Stopping The Engine
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 (cycle the ignition from the RUN
mode to the OFF mode), the power supply to the accesso-
ries are maintained for a period of three minutes.
NOTE: If the vehicle fails to shut off using the ignition,
refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting To Know
Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
Opening the driver side door with the ignition in RUN will
sound a short chime that reminds the driver to place the
ignition to OFF.
When the ignition is in the OFF mode, the window
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.
Turbocharger “Cool Down” — If Equipped
This vehicle is equipped with an after-run pump to cool the
turbocharger after the engine is shut off. Depending on the
type of driving and the amount of cargo, the pump will run
for up to 10 minutes after the engine has been shut off to
circulate coolant through the turbocharger. Although the
pump is rubber-mounted for quiet operation, it is normal
to hear it running during this time.
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 detri-
mental and should be avoided.
