NOTE:•If a second chime is heard after approximately four
seconds from arming the alarm, disarm the alarm
by pushing the unlock button. Check for the correct
closure of doors and liftgate, then reactivate the
system by following steps 1 and 2.
• If a second chime is heard after approximately four
seconds from arming the alarm, even with the
doors and liftgate properly closed, a fault may have
occurred during the arming operation. If this oc-
curs, contact your authorized dealer.
To Disarm The System
The vehicle security alarm can be disarmed using any of
the following methods:
• Push the unlock button on the key fob.
• Grasp the Passive Entry Unlock Door Handle with a
valid key fob available in the same exterior zone (if
equipped). Refer to Keyless Enter-N-Go inGetting
To Know Your Vehicle for further information. •
Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the STOP/
OFF/LOCK position.
– For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go, push the Keyless Enter-N-Go START/STOP but-
ton (requires at least one valid key fob in the
vehicle).
NOTE:
• The driver’s door key cylinder cannot arm or disarm
the vehicle security alarm.
• When the vehicle security alarm is armed, the inte-
rior power door lock switches will not unlock the
doors.
The vehicle security alarm is designed to protect your
vehicle. However, you can create conditions where the
system will give you a false alarm. If one of the
previously described arming sequences has occurred,
the vehicle security alarm will arm regardless of
whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in
the vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the vehicle security alarm.
If the vehicle security alarm is armed and the battery
becomes disconnected, the vehicle security alarm will
remain armed when the battery is reconnected.

Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact, if the communication net-
work remains intact, and the power remains intact,
depending on the nature of the event, the ORC will
determine whether to have the Enhanced Accident
Response System perform the following functions:
•Cut off fuel to the engine.
• Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power
or until the hazard light button is pressed. The
hazard lights can be deactivated by pressing the
hazard light button.
• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long
as the battery has power or for 15 minutes from the
intervention of the Enhanced Accident Response
System.
• Unlock the power door locks.
• Turn off the Fuel Pump Heater (if equipped).
• Turn off the HVAC Blower Motor.
• Close the HVAC Circulation Door.
Enhanced Accident Response System Reset
Procedure
After the event occurs, when the system is active, a
message regarding fuel cutoff is displayed. Turn the
ignition switch from ignition AVV/START or MAR/
ACC/ON/RUN to ignition STOP/OFF/LOCK. Care-
fully check the vehicle for fuel leaks in the engine
compartment and on the ground near the engine com-
partment and fuel tank before resetting the system and
starting the engine.
Depending on the nature of the event the left and right
turn signal lights, located in the instrument panel, may
both be blinking and will continue to blink. In order to
move your vehicle to the side of the road, you must
follow the system reset procedure.

SAFETY 185

After Starting — Warming Up The Engine
Proceed as follows:
•Travel slowly, letting the engine run at a reduced
RPM, without accelerating suddenly.
• It is recommended to wait until the engine coolant
temperature gauge starts to rise for maximum per-
formance.
Stopping The Engine
To shut off the engine with vehicle speed greater than
5 mph (8 km/h), you must push and hold the ignition
or push the START/STOP button three times consecu-
tively within a few seconds. The engine will shut down,
and the ignition will be placed in the RUN position.
Turning OFF the car (cycle the ignition from the RUN
mode to the OFF mode), the power supply to the
accessories are maintained for a period of three min-
utes.
Opening the driver side door with the ignition in RUN
will sound a short chime that reminds the driver to
place the ignition to OFF. When the ignition is in the OFF mode, the window
switches remains active for three minutes. Opening a
front door will cancel this function.
After severe driving, idle the engine to allow the
temperature inside the engine compartment to cool
before shutting off the engine.
Turbocharger “Cool Down” — If Equipped
This vehicle is equipped with an after-run pump to cool
the turbocharger after the engine is shut off. Depending
on the type of driving and the amount of cargo, the
pump will run for up to 10 minutes after the engine has
been shut off to circulate coolant through the turbo-
charger. Although the pump is rubber-mounted for
quiet operation, it is normal to hear it running during
this time.
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the engine
and drivetrain (transmission and axle) in your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km).
After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or
55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.

STARTING AND OPERATING 217

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.
DO NOT race the engine when shifting from PARK or
NEUTRAL into another gear range.
CAUTION!
After selecting any gear range, wait a moment to
allow the selected gear to engage before accelerat-
ing. This is especially important when the engine is
cold.
Gear Ranges
PARK (P)
This range supplements the Electric Park Brake (EPB)
by locking the transmission. The engine can be started
in this range. Never attempt to use PARK while the
vehicle is in motion. Apply the EPB when leaving the
vehicle in this range.
When parking on a level surface, you may shift the
transmission into PARK first, and then apply the EPB.
When parking on a hill, apply the EPB before shifting
the transmission to PARK, otherwise the load on the
transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult
to move the gear selector out of PARK. As an added
precaution, turn the front wheels toward the curb on a
downhill grade and away from the curb on an uphill
grade.
