A WORD ABOUT YOUR
KEYSYour vehicle uses a keyless ignition
system. This system consists of a KeyFob with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter and a Keyless Ignition
Node (KIN).Keyless Enter­N­Go™ Feature
This vehicle is equipped with the Key-
less Enter­N­Go™ feature, (refer to
"Keyless Enter-N-Go" in "Things To
Know Before Starting Your Vehicle"
for further information).
KEYLESS IGNITION NODE
(KIN)
This feature allows the driver to oper-
ate the ignition switch with the push
of a button, as long as the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is in
the passenger compartment.
The Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) has
four operating positions, three of
which are labeled and will illuminate
when in position. The three positionsare OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN. The
fourth position is START. During start
RUN will illuminate.
NOTE: In case the ignition switch
does not change with the push of a
button, the RKE transmitter (Key
Fob) may have a low or dead bat-
tery. In this situation a back up
method can be used to operate the
ignition switch. Put the nose side
(side opposite of the emergency
key) of the Key Fob against the
ENGINE START/STOP button and
push to operate the
ignition switch.
KEY FOB
The Key Fob also contains the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and
an emergency key, which stores in the
rear of the Key Fob.
The emergency key allows for entry
into the vehicle should the battery in
the vehicle or the Key Fob go dead. The
emergency key is also for locking the
glove box. You can keep the emergency
key with you when valet parking.
To remove the emergency key, slide the
mechanical latch on the back of the
Key Fob sideways with your thumb
and then pull the key out with your
other hand.NOTE:
You can insert the double-
sided emergency key into the lock
cylinders with either side up.

STARTING
PROCEDURES
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!
 When leaving the vehicle, alwaysremove the key fob and lock your
vehicle.
 Never leave children alone in a vehicle, 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.
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, and do not leave Key-
less Enter-N-Go in the ACC or
ON/RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle. KEYLESS ENTER­N­GO™
This feature allows
the driver to oper-
ate the ignition
switch with the
push of a button,
as long as the Re-
mote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter is in the passenger
compartment.

3.
The system takes over and attempts
to start the vehicle. If the vehicle fails to
start, the starter will disengage auto-
matically after 10 seconds.
4. If you wish to stop the cranking of
the engine prior to the engine starting,
press the button again. NOTE:
Normal starting of either a
cold or a warm engine is obtained

powered electric engine block heater
is recommended.
IF ENGINE FAILS TO
START
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.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. Ve-
hicles equipped with an auto-
matic transmission cannot be
started this way. Unburned fuel
could enter the catalytic con-
verter and once the engine has
started, ignite and damage the
converter 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 improp-
erly. Refer to “Jump Starting” in
“What To Do In Emergencies” for
further information.
196

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:
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 auto-
matically, run for 10 seconds, and
then disengage. Once this occurs, re-
lease the accelerator pedal and the
brake pedal, wait 10 to 15 seconds,
then repeat the “Normal Starting”
procedure.
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 Procedure
WARNING!NEVER pour fuel or other flam-
mable liquid into the air inlet open-
ing in an attempt to start the vehicle.
This could result in a flash fire caus-
ing serious personal injury.1. The shift lever must be in the
NEUTRAL or PARK position before
you can start the engine.
