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.
If Engine Fails To Start
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 con-
verter 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” in “What To Do In Emer-
gencies” for further information.

procedures, it may be flooded. To clear any
excess fuel:
1. Press and hold the brake pedal.
2. Press the accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor and hold it.
3. Press and release the ENGINE START/
STOP button once.
The starter motor will engage automatically, 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” procedure. Clearing A Flooded Engine
(Using Fob With Integrated Key)
If the engine fails to start after you have followed
the “Normal Starting” or “Extreme Cold Weather”
procedures, it may be flooded. To clear any
excess fuel:
1. Press the accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor and hold it.
2.
Turn the ignition switch to the START position
and release it as soon as the starter engages.
The starter motor will disengage automatically
in 10 seconds. Once this occurs, release the
accelerator pedal, turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK position, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then
repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, wait 10 to
15 seconds before trying again.
After StartingThe idle speed is controlled automatically and it
will decrease as the engine warms up.
Normal Starting – Diesel EngineObserve the following when the engine is oper-
ating.
• All message center lights are off.
• Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is off.
• Low Oil Pressure Light is off.
Cold Weather Precautions
Operation in ambient temperature below
32°F (0°C) may require special considerations.
The following chart suggests these options.
*No. 1 Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel (ULSD)
should only be used where extended arctic
conditions (-10°F/-23°C) exist.
223

Engine Idling – In Cold Weather
Avoid prolonged idling in ambient temperatures
below 0°F (-18°C). Long periods of idling may
be harmful to your engine because combustion
chamber temperatures 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 as-
sures proper lubrication of the turbocharger.
This is particularly necessary after any period of
hard driving.
Idle the engine a few minutes before routine
shutdown. After full load operation, idle the
engine three to five minutes before shutting it
down. This idle period will allow the lubricating
oil and coolant to carry excess heat away from
the combustion chamber, bearings, internal
components, and turbocharger. This is espe-
cially important for turbocharged, charge air
cooled engines.AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
CAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may occur if the
following precautions are not observed:
•Shift into PARK only after the vehicle 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 between PARK, REVERSE,
NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is
above idle speed.
•
Before shifting into any gear, make sure your
foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.
NOTE:
You must press and hold the brake pedal
while shifting out of PARK.
WARNING!
• Unintended movement of a vehicle could
injure those in or near the vehicle. As with
all vehicles, you should never exit a ve-
hicle while the engine is running. Before
exiting a vehicle, always apply the parking
brake, shift the transmission into PARK,
turn the engine OFF, and remove the key
fob. When the ignition is in the OFF posi-
tion, the shift lever is locked in PARK,
securing the vehicle against unwanted
movement.
• It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or
NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher
than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly
pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle could
accelerate quickly forward or in reverse.
You could lose control of the vehicle and
hit someone or something. Only shift into
gear when the engine is idling normally
and your foot is firmly pressing the brake
pedal.

WARNING!(Continued)
•When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key fob and lock your vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allow-
ing children to be in a vehicle unattended
is dangerous for a number of reasons.
A child or others could be seriously or
fatally injured.
• Children 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 (or in a location accessible to chil-
dren), and do not leave Keyless Enter-N-
Go™ in the ACC or ON/RUN position.
A child could operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle.
Key Ignition Park InterlockThis vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition Park
Interlock which requires the shift lever to be in
PARK before the ignition switch can be turned
to the OFF position. The key fob can only be
removed from the ignition when the ignition is in
the OFF position, and the shift lever is locked in
PARK whenever the ignition switch is in the
OFF position.
NOTE:
If a malfunction occurs, the system will trap
the key fob in the ignition switch to warn you
that this safety feature is inoperable. The
engine can be started and stopped but the
key fob cannot be removed until you obtain
service.
Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock
System
This vehicle is equipped with a Brake Transmis-
sion Shift Interlock system (BTSI) that holds the
shift lever in PARK unless the brakes are ap-
plied. To shift the transmission out of PARK, the
ignition switch must be turned to the ON/RUN
position (engine running or not) and the brake
pedal must be pressed.
Five-Speed Automatic Transmission
(3.6L and 3.0L Diesel Engine) — If
Equipped
The shift lever position display (located in the
instrument cluster) indicates the transmission
gear range. You must press the brake pedal to
move the shift lever out of PARK (refer to
“Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock System” in
this section). To drive, move the shift lever from
PARK or NEUTRAL to the DRIVE position.
The electronically-controlled transmission pro-
vides a precise shift schedule. The transmission
electronics are self-calibrating; therefore, the
first few shifts on a new vehicle may be some-
what abrupt. This is a normal condition, and
precision shifts will develop within a few hun-
dred miles (kilometers).
Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE
when the accelerator pedal is released and the
vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on
the brake pedal when shifting between these
gears.
