IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Caution
Always shut off the windshield wipers and radio after
parking. If left on, such components may be damaged
by Smart Engine Start in extremely cold weather.
Check that all vehicle windows are closed and all
doors locked after parking.
Caution
Do not start the engine with a car cover still on the
vehicle. The exhaust pipe and exhaust emissions are
capable of starting a fire at high temperatures.

Avoid using Smart Engine Start when the fuel level is
low. You may run out of fuel and be unable to restart
the engine.

To help reduce the risk of injury during engine service,
Smart Engine Start will not function while the hood is
