1Starting the Engine
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when 
starting the engine.
The engine is harder to st art in cold weather and in 
thinner air found at altitudes above 8,000 feet (2,400 
meters).
When starting the engine in  cold weather, turn off all 
electrical accessories such as the lights, climate 
control system, and rear de fogger in order to reduce 
battery drain.
If you live in a region where winter is extremely cold, 
an engine block heater  will improve starting and 
warming of the engine. If  temperatures consistently 
below -22°F (-30°C) are expected, the coolant 
mixture should be changed  to a higher concentration 
to prevent freezing. Cons ult a dealer for details.
If the exhaust system sounds abnormal or you can 
smell exhaust gas inside the  vehicle, have your vehicle 
checked by a dealer. There may be a problem with 
the engine or exhaust system.
The immobilizer system pr otects your vehicle from 
theft.If an improperly c oded device is used, the 
engine’s fuel system is disabled. 2 Immobilizer System  P. 116

1About Your Multi-View Rear Camera
The rear camera view is restricted. You cannot see 
the corner ends of the bum per or what is underneath 
the bumper. Its unique le ns also makes objects 
appear closer or farther than they actually are.

up. Certain conditions (such as weather, lighting, and 
high temperatures) may also restrict the rear view. Do 
not rely on the rearview display which does not give 
you all information about conditions at the back of 
your vehicle.
If the camera lens is cove red with dirt or moisture, 
use a soft, moist cloth to keep the lens clean and free 
of debris.
