178 Driving and Operating
Cell phone chargers can interfere
with the operation of the Keyless
Access system. Battery chargers
should not be plugged in when
starting or turning off the engine.
To start the vehicle:1. For vehicles with an automatic transmission, press the brake
pedal, then press the ENGINE
START/STOP button on the
instrument panel. For vehicles
with a manual transmission,
press the clutch pedal first,
then press the ENGINE
START/STOP button.
If there is no RKE transmitter in
the vehicle or if there is
something causing interference
with it, the DIC will display a
message. See Key and Lock
Messages 0124.
2. When the engine begins cranking, let go of the button
and the engine cranks
automatically until it starts.
If the battery in the RKE
transmitter is weak, the DIC will
display a message. The vehicle
can still be driven. See
“Starting the Vehicle with a
Low Transmitter Battery” under
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation 026. If the
remote transmitter battery is
dead, insert it into the steering
column transmitter pocket to
enable engine starting. See
“NO REMOTE KEY WAS
DETECTED PLACE KEY IN
TRANSMITTER POCKET
THEN START YOUR
VEHICLE” underKey and Lock
Messages 0124.
3. Do not race the engine immediately after starting it.
Operate the engine and
transmission gently until the oil
warms up and lubricates all
moving parts.
4. If the engine does not start and no DIC message is displayed,
wait 15 seconds before trying
again to let the cranking motor
cool down.
If the engine does not start
after five to 10 seconds,
especially in very cold weather
(below −18 °C or 0 °F), it could be flooded with too much
gasoline. Try pushing the
accelerator pedal all the way to
the floor while cranking for up
to 15 seconds maximum. Wait
at least 15 seconds between
each try, to allow the cranking
motor to cool down. When the
engine starts, let go of the
accelerator. If the vehicle starts
briefly but then stops again,
repeat these steps. This clears
the extra gasoline from the
engine.
Caution
Cranking the engine for long
periods of time, by returning the
ignition to the START position
immediately after cranking has
ended, can overheat and damage
the cranking motor, and drain the
battery. Wait at least 15 seconds
between each try, to let the
cranking motor cool down.
