Before starting your vehicle, adjust
your seat, adjust the inside and out-
side mirrors, fasten your seat belt, and
if present, instruct all other occupants
to buckle their seat belts.WARNING!
Never leave children alone in avehicle, or with access to an un-
locked vehicle. Allowing children
to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of rea-
sons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Chil-
dren should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake
pedal or the shift lever.
Do not leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle, and do not leave a
vehicle equipped with Keyless

RUN mode. A child could operate
power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle. AUTOMATIC

The shift lever must be in the NEU-
TRAL or PARK position before you
can start the engine. Apply the brakes
before shifting into any driving gear.
CAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may oc-
cur if the following precautions are
not observed:
Shift into PARK only after the ve-
hicle has come to a complete stop.
Shift into or out of REVERSE
only after the vehicle has come to
a complete stop and the engine is
at idle speed.
Do not shift from REVERSE,
PARK, or NEUTRAL into any for-
ward gear when the engine is
above idle speed.
Before shifting into any gear,
make sure your foot is firmly on
the brake pedal. Using Fob With Integrated Key

WARNING!
Never pour fuel or other flam-
mable liquids into the throttle
body air inlet opening in an at-
tempt to start the vehicle. This
could result in a flash fire causing
serious personal injury.
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.
