Information Indicator
It will illuminate when a new
message is stored in the
information and entertainment
display. See Information Messages
(page 87).
Low Fuel Level Warning Lamp If it illuminates, refuel as soon as
possible.
Low Tire Pressure Warning It will illuminate when your tire
pressure is low. If the lamp
remains on with the engine
running or when driving, check
your tire pressure as soon as possible.
It will also illuminate momentarily when
you switch the ignition on to confirm the
lamp is functional. If it does not illuminate
when you switch the ignition on, or begins
to flash at any time, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized dealer.
Safety Belt Minder Warning Lamp It will illuminate and a chime will
sound to remind you to fasten
your safety belt. See
Safety
Belt Minder (page 30).
Service Engine Soon If the service engine soon
indicator light stays illuminated
after the engine is started, it
indicates that the On-Board Diagnostics
(OBD-II) system has detected a
malfunction of the vehicle emissions
control system. Refer to On-Board
Diagnostics (OBD-II) in the Fuel and
Refueling chapter for more information
about having your vehicle serviced. See
Emission Control System
(page 119). If the light is blinking, engine misfire is
occurring which could damage your
catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate
fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and
deceleration) and have your vehicle
serviced immediately.
WARNING
Under engine misfire conditions,
excessive exhaust temperatures
could damage the catalytic
converter, the fuel system, interior floor
coverings or other vehicle components,
possibly causing a fire. Have an authorized
dealer service your vehicle immediately. The service engine soon indicator light
illuminates when the ignition is first turned
on prior to engine start to check the bulb
and to indicate whether the vehicle is ready
for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing.
Normally, the service engine soon light will
stay on until the engine is cranked, then
turn itself off if no malfunctions are
present. However, if after 15 seconds the
service engine soon light blinks eight times,
it means that the vehicle is not ready for
I/M testing. See
Emission Control
System (page 119).
Shift Indicator It will illuminate to inform you
that shifting to a higher gear may
give better fuel economy and
lower CO2 emissions. It will not illuminate
during periods of high acceleration, braking
or when the clutch pedal is pressed.

ENGINE
Note:
You can only operate the starter for
a limited period, for example 10 seconds.
The number of start attempts is limited to
approximately six. If you exceed this limit,
the system does not allow you to try again
until some time has elapsed, for example
30 minutes.
When you start the engine, the idle speed
increases, this helps to warm up the
engine. If the engine idle speed does not
slow down automatically, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.
Before starting the engine, check the
following:
• Make sure all occupants have fastened
their safety belts.
• Make sure the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off.
• Make sure to set the parking brake.
• Move the transmission selector lever
to position P (automatic transmission)
or neutral (manual transmission).
• Turn the ignition key to position C. If
your vehicle is equipped with a keyless
ignition, see the following instructions.

Engine Idle Speed after Starting
The speed at which the engine idles
immediately after starting minimizes
vehicle emissions and maximizes cabin
comfort and fuel economy. The idle speed varies depending on certain
factors. These include vehicle component
and ambient temperatures as well as
electrical and climate system demands.
Failure to Start
Vehicles with Manual Transmission
If the engine does not crank when you fully
depress the clutch pedal and turn the
ignition key to position
D:
1. Fully depress the clutch and brake pedals.
2. Turn the key to position

SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
Vehicles With a Turbocharger WARNING
Do not switch the engine off when it
is running at high speed. If you do, the
turbocharger will continue running
after the engine oil pressure has dropped
to zero. This will lead to premature
turbocharger bearing wear. Release the accelerator pedal. Wait until
the engine has reached idle speed and then
switch it off.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER
(If
Equipped) WARNINGS
Failure to follow engine block heater
instructions could result in property
damage or serious personal injury.
Do not use your heater with
ungrounded electrical systems or
two-pronged adapters. There is a risk
of electrical shock. 114
