220 STARTING AND OPERATING
To Turn On The Engine Using ENGINE START/
STOP Button
1. The transmission must be in PARK or
NEUTRAL.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal while
pushing the ENGINE START/STOP button
once.
To release the parking brake manually, the igni-
tion switch must be in the ON/RUN position.
Press on the brake pedal, then push the park
brake switch momentarily.
If the driver shifts into PARK while moving, the
vehicle may Park.
PARK will engage ONLY when vehicle speed is
1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) or less.
The MESSAGE “Vehicle Speed is Too High to
Shift to P” will display in the Instrument Cluster
Display if vehicle speed is above 1.2 mph
(1.9 km/h). The gear position indicator will blink
continuously until the selector is returned to the
proper position, or the requested shift can be
completed.
Cold Weather Operation (Below –22°F Or
−30°C)
To ensure reliable starting at these tempera-
tures, use of an externally powered electric
engine block heater (available from your autho-
rized dealer) is recommended.
After Starting — Warming Up The Engine
The idle speed is controlled automatically and it
will decrease as the engine warms up.
If Engine Fails To Start
WARNING!
If vehicle speed is not below 1.2 mph
(1.9 km/h) when the driver shifts into PARK,
the transmission will default to NEUTRAL until
the vehicle speed drops below 1.2 mph
(1.9 km/h) and the above condition are met,
enabling AutoPark. A vehicle left in the
NEUTRAL position can roll. As an added
precaution, always apply the parking brake
when exiting the vehicle.
WARNING!
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid
into the throttle body air inlet opening in an
attempt to start the vehicle. This could
result in flash fire causing serious personal
injury.
Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle
to get it started. Vehicles equipped with an
automatic transmission cannot be started
this way. Unburned fuel could enter the
catalytic converter and once the engine has
started, ignite and damage the converter
and vehicle.
If the vehicle has a discharged battery,
booster cables may be used to obtain a
start from a booster battery or the battery in
another vehicle. This type of start can be
dangerous if done improperly. Refer to
“Jump Starting Procedure” in “In Case Of
Emergency” for further information.
