leave a vehicle out of the PARK posi-
tion, or it could roll.NOTE:
If the ignition switch is left in the
ACC or RUN (engine not running)
position and the transmission is in
PARK, the system will automati-
cally time out after 30 minutes of
inactivity and the ignition will
switch to the OFF position.
ENGINE START/STOP Button
Functions – With Driver’s Foot
OFF The Brake Pedal (In PARK
Or NEUTRAL Position)
The Keyless Enter-N-Go feature oper-
ates similar to an ignition switch. It

WARNING!(Continued)
 Do not attempt to push or tow
your vehicle to get it started. Ve-
hicles equipped with an automatic
transmission cannot be started
this way. Unburned fuel could en-
ter the catalytic converter and
once the engine has started, ignite
and damage the converter and ve-
hicle. If the vehicle has a dis-
charged 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 improp-
erly. Refer to “Jump Starting” in
“What To Do In Emergencies” for
further information.
Clearing A Flooded Engine (Using
ENGINE START/STOP Button)
If the engine fails to start after you
have followed the “Normal Starting”
or “Extreme Cold Weather" proce-
dures, it may be flooded. To clear any
excess fuel, press and hold the brake
pedal, push the accelerator pedal all
the way to the floor and hold it, then
press and release the ENGINE START/STOP button once. The
starter motor will engage automati-
cally, run for 10 seconds, and then
disengage. Once this occurs, release
the accelerator pedal and the brake
pedal, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then
repeat the “Normal Starting” proce-
dure.
After Starting
The idle speed is controlled automati-
cally and it will decrease as the engine
warms up.
NORMAL STARTING –
DIESEL ENGINE
Observe the following when the en-
gine is operating.
 All message center lights are off.
 Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
is off.
 Low Oil Pressure Light is off.
Cold Weather Precautions
If the outside temperature is very low,
the diesel fuel thickens due to the
formation of parrafin clots and could
clog the diesel filter. In order to avoid
these problems, different types of die-
sel fuel are distributed according to the season: summer type, winter type
and arctic type (cold, mountainous
areas).
If refuelling with diesel fuel whose
specifications are not suitable for the
outside temperature, it is advisable to
mix TUTELA DIESEL ART additive
in the proportions shown on the con-
tainer with the fuel. Pour the additive
into the tank before the fuel.
When using or parking the vehicle for
a long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel. In this case, it
is also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.
Battery Blanket Usage
A battery loses 60% of its cranking
power as the battery temperature de-
creases to ­18°C. For the same de-
crease in temperature, the engine re-
quires twice as much power to crank
at the same RPM. The use of battery
blankets will greatly increase starting
capability at low temperatures.

Engine Starting ProcedureWARNING!
Never pour fuel or other flammable
liquid into the air inlet opening in an
attempt to start the vehicle. This
could result in a flash fire causing
serious personal injury.
1. The shift lever must be in the
NEUTRAL or PARK position before
you can start the engine.
2. With your foot on the brake pedal,
press the ENGINE START/STOP
button.
3. Watch the “Wait To Start Light” in
the instrument cluster. Refer to “In-
strument Cluster” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further
information. It may glow for up to
three seconds, depending on engine
temperature.
4. When the “Wait To Start Light”
goes out, the engine will automati-
cally start.
5. After the engine starts, allow it to
idle for approximately 30 seconds be-
fore driving. This allows oil to circu-
late and lubricate the turbocharger. Avoid prolonged idling in ambient
temperatures below ­18°C. Long pe-
riods of idling may be harmful to your
engine because combustion chamber
temperatures can drop so low that the
fuel may not burn completely. Incom-
plete combustion allows carbon and
varnish to form on piston rings and
injector nozzles. Also, the unburned
fuel can enter the crankcase, diluting
the oil and causing rapid wear to the
engine.
Engine Warm Up
Avoid full throttle operation when the
engine is cold. When starting a cold
engine, bring the engine up to operat-
ing speed slowly to allow the oil pres-
sure to stabilize as the engine warms
up.
NOTE:
High-speed, no-load running of a
cold engine can result in excessive
white smoke and poor engine per-
formance. No-load engine speeds
should be kept under 1,200 RPM
during the warm-up period, espe-
cially in cold ambient temperature
conditions.
If temperatures are below 0°C, operate
the engine at moderate speeds for five
minutes before full loads are applied.Engine Idling – In Cold WeatherAvoid prolonged idling in ambient tem-
peratures below ­18°C. Long periods of
idling may be harmful to your engine
because combustion chamber tempera-
tures can drop so low that the fuel may
not burn completely. Incomplete com-
bustion allows carbon and varnish to
form on piston rings and injector
nozzles. Also, the unburned fuel can
enter the crankcase, diluting the oil and
causing rapid wear to the engine.Stopping The Engine
Before turning off your turbo diesel
engine, always allow the engine to
return to normal idle speed and run
for several seconds. This assures
proper lubrication of the turbo-
charger. This is particularly necessary
after any period of hard driving.
Idle the engine a few minutes before
routine shutdown. After full load op-
eration, idle the engine three to five
minutes before shutting it down. This
idle period will allow the lubricating
