1Starting the Engine
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when

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, heating and 
cooling system
*/climate control system*, and rear 
defogger 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.Electric Parking Brake Switch
