STARTING THE ENGINE
Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat,
adjust the inside and outside mirrors, fasten
your seat belt, and if present, instruct all
other occupants to buckle their seat belts.
WARNING!
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
• Allowing children to be in a vehicle un-
attended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seri-
ously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the gear selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle (or in a location accessible to
children), and do not leave the ignition
in the ON or RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other controls,
or move the vehicle.
Start the engine with the gear selector in the
NEUTRAL or PARK position. Apply the brake
before shifting to any driving range.
Proceed as follows:
1. Set the Electric Park Brake (EPB) and put
the gear selector in the PARK or NEU-
TRAL position.
2. Press on the brake pedal, without pressing
the accelerator.
3. Cycle the ignition to the START mode and
release it as soon as the engine is started.
4. If the engine does not start, place the
ignition in the OFF mode and wait 10-
15 seconds before attempting to restart
the engine.
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 accessories are maintained for a
period of three minutes.
NOTE:
If the vehicle fails to shut off using the
ignition, refer to “Instrument Cluster Dis-
play” 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 temperature inside the engine compart-
ment to cool before shutting off the engine.
