HANDLING THE UNEXPECTEDHANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
Overheating
If the temperature gauge needle is at the H mark, the engine suddenly loses power, 
or steam or spray comes out from under the hood, your engine is overheat\
ing.
1. Immediately park the vehicle in a safe place. Turn 
off all accessories and turn on the hazard warning 
lights.
2. If steam or spray is not present: Keep the engine
running and open the hood.
 If steam or spray is present: Turn off the engine and
wait until it subsides. Then, open the hood.
3. Check that the cooling fan is operating and stop the engine once the tem\
perature
gauge needle goes down. If the cooling fan is not operating, immediately stop the 
engine.
4. once the engine has cooled down, inspect the coolant level and check the \
cooling system components for leaks. If the coolant level in the reserve tank 
is low, add coolant until it reaches the MAX mark. If there is no coolant in the 
reserve tank, make sure the radiator is cool, then cover the radiator ca\
p with a
heavy cloth and open the cap. If necessary, add coolant up to the base of the 
filler neck, and put the cap back on.
once the engine has cooled sufficiently, restart it and check the temperature gauge.
If the temperature gauge needle has gone down, resume driving. If it has not gone 
down, contact a dealer for repairs.
MAX
Reserve tank
MIN
Steam and spray from an overheated engine can seriously scald you.
Do not open the hood if steam is coming out.
WARNING
removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant t\
o
spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiator cap.
WARNING
Continuing to drive with the temperature gauge needle at the H mark may \
damage
the engine.
NOTICE
Emergency Engine Stop*
The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an 
emergency situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, choose one of 
the following operations:
• Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for 
two seconds, or
• Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button two 
times.
The steering wheel will not lock. Because turning off the engine also disables the 
power assist the engine provides to the steering and braking systems, it will require 
significantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow the vehi\
cle. Downshift
gears and use both feet on the brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the vehicle and 
stop immediately in a safe place.
Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the engine 
to be switched off.
*if equipped
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The 
bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle can 
damage the transmission.
NOTICE
Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck. This is
the best way to transport your vehicle.
Wheel lift equipment: The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front 
tires and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground.\
This is an
acceptable way to tow your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions/Troubleshooting
Below are some frequently asked questions and troubleshooting items that you may 
have about the vehicle.
Q: How do I set the vehicle clock?
A: For vehicles without navigation, see page 48. For vehicles with navigati\
on, the
time is automatically set using GPS signals.
Q: Why doesn’t the vehicle start when I press the ENGINE START/STOP button?*
A: The brake pedal (and/or clutch pedal*) must be pressed to start the engine.
Q: What is the AUTO setting on my headlight lever?
A: When in the AUTO position, the vehicle’s exterior lights will automatically turn
  on or off depending on the ambient lighting.
Q: Why won’t the driver’s door unlock when I grab the door handle, even though 
 the keyless access remote is within range?*
A: If you pull the handle too quickly, the system may not have time to confirm the
  door is unlocked. Wait to hear a beep to confirm the door is unlocked. If you are
 wearing gloves, the system may be slow to respond.
Q: After my battery was disconnected or went dead, the audio system is asking for 
 a code. Where do I find this?
A: In most cases, you do not need to enter a code. Turn on the vehicle and the
  audio system, and press and hold the power button until the system reactivates.
Q: Why can’t I operate Pandora® through the audio system?*
A: Audio may be streaming through Bluetooth® Audio. Make sure Pandora mode
  is selected and the phone cable is properly connected to the USB adapter  
 cable (if using). Some phones may prompt you to “Allow” a connection.
Q: Is my phone compatible with Bluetooth features?
A: visit handsfreelink.com (U.S.) or www.handsfreelink.ca (Canada) to
 check phone compatibility for Bluetooth® Audio, Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®,
and SMS text messaging.
Q: Every time I press the Talk button, the system gives me voice prompts. Can I turn 
 these off?*
A: From the Home screen, select SETTINGS. Select System, then select Voice 
Prompt. Select off.
