STARTING AND DRIVING
421
If the Vehicle key not found message is shown
in the instrument panel at start, place the remote
key at the backup reader and then make a new
start attempt.
NOTE
When the remote key is placed in the backup
reader, make sure that no other vehicle keys,
metal objects or electronic devices (e.g. cellu-
lar phones, tablets, laptops or chargers) are in
the backup reader. Multiple vehicle keys close
to each other in the backup reader can dis-
rupt their functionality.
CAUTION
If the engine has not responded after 3
attempts – wait for 3 minutes before starting
a new attempt. Starting capability increases if
the starter battery is given time to recover.
WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from
the vehicle while driving or the vehicle is
being towed.
WARNING
•
Always remove the remote key from the
passenger compartment when you leave
the vehicle and make sure the ignition is
in mode 0.
•
Always put the gear selector in P and
apply the parking brake before leaving
the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle unsu-
pervised while the engine is running.
•
Always open the garage door fully and
make sure that ventilation is very good
before starting the engine in a garage.
The exhaust fumes produced by the vehi-
cle contain carbon monoxide, which is
invisible and odorless but very toxic.
NOTE
With a cold start, idling speed may be consid-
erably higher than normal for certain engine
types. This is done to get the emissions sys-
tem up to normal operating temperature as
quickly as possible, which minimizes exhaust
emissions and protects the environment.
CAUTION
•
When starting in cold weather, the auto-
matic transmission may shift up at slightly
higher engine speeds than normal until
the automatic transmission fluid reaches
normal operating temperature.
•
Do not race a cold engine immediately
after starting. This could prevent fluids
from properly lubricating vital compo-
nents in the engine before it has reached
the proper operating temperature.
•
The engine should be idling when the
gear selector is moved. Never accelerate
until the gear is fully engaged. Accelerat-
ing rapidly before a gear is properly
engaged could lead to harder wear of
components.
•
To help prevent the transmission oil from
overheating, select P or N when idling at
a standstill for prolonged periods of time.
