button on your remote control or
intelligent access key if it is linked to

a recall, press any driver seat
adjustment control, any of the memory
buttons, or any mirror control switch.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNINGS
Extended idling at high engine
speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and
exhaust system, creating the risk of
fire or other damage. Do not park, idle or drive your
vehicle on dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system
heats up the engine compartment and
exhaust system, creating the risk of
fire. Do not start the engine in a
closed garage or in other
enclosed areas. Exhaust fumes can
be toxic. Always open the garage door
before you start the engine. If you smell exhaust fumes inside
your vehicle, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized dealer
immediately. Do not drive your vehicle
if you smell exhaust fumes. If you disconnect the battery, your
vehicle may exhibit some unusual
driving characteristics for
approximately 5 miles (8 kilometers)
after you reconnect it. This is because
the engine management system must
realign itself with the engine. You can
disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.
The powertrain control system meets
all Canadian interference-causing
equipment standard requirements
regulating the impulse electrical field
or radio noise. When you start the engine, avoid
pressing the accelerator pedal before
and during operation. Only use the
accelerator pedal when you have
difficulty starting the engine.
KEYLESS STARTING
Note:
The keyless starting system may
not function if the key is close to metal
objects or electronic devices such as
cellular phones.
Note: A valid key must be located
inside your vehicle to switch the ignition
on and start the engine.
