Starting and operating/Remote engine start system (dealer option)
&Entering the vehicle while it
is running via remote start
1. Unlock the vehicle doors using the
keyless access function (if equipped) or
remote keyless entry system, then open
the door(s). If the vehicle’s doors are
unlocked manually using the key, the
vehicle’s alarm system will trigger when
a door is opened (if the alarm system is
armed prior to activating the remote
engine start system) and the engine will
turn off. Perform either of the following
procedures to disarm the alarm system.
Refer to“Alarm system”F2-28.
.Insert the key into the ignition switch
and turn it to the“ON”position (models
without“keyless access with push-
button start system”)
.Push the push-button ignition switch
to the“ACC”or“ON”position (models
with“keyless access with push-button
start system”)
.Press any button on the access key/
remote keyless entry transmitter.
2. Enter the vehicle.
3. The engine will shut down when any
door or rear gate is opened.
4. For models without“keyless access
with push-button start system”, insert the
key into the ignition switch and turn to the
“START”position to restart the engine. Formodels with“keyless access with push-
button start system”, press the push-
button ignition switch while depressing
the brake pedal to restart the engine.
&Entering the vehicle follow-
ing remote engine start shut-
down
An alarm trigger may occur if the vehicle is
opened by the remote keyless entry
system/keyless access function within a
few seconds immediately following remote
engine start shutdown.
&Pre-heating or pre-cooling
the interior of the vehicle
Before exiting the vehicle, set the tem-
perature controls to the desired setting
and operation. After the system starts the
engine, the heater or air conditioning will
activate and heat or cool the interior to
your setting.
&Service mode (models with-
out“keyless access with
push-button start system”)
In service mode, the remote engine start
function is temporarily disabled to prevent
the system from unexpectedly starting the
engine while being serviced.To engage or disengage service mode:
1. Enter the vehicle and close all vehicle
doors and the rear gate/trunk lid.
2. Verify that the select lever is in the“P”
position (CVT models)
3. Depress and hold the brake pedal
4. Turn the ignition switch to the“ON”
position
5. Press and release the remote engine
start transmitter“
”button three times.
The system will honk the vehicle’s horn
each time the button is pressed.
6. The system will pause for 1 second
then honk the vehicle’s horn three times to
indicate that the service mode has been
engaged or honk one time to indicate that
the service mode has been disengaged.
NOTE
When taking your vehicle in for service,
it is recommended that you inform the
service personnel that your vehicle is
equipped with a remote engine start
system.
&Remote transmitter program
(models without“keyless ac-
cess with push-button start
system”)
New transmitters can be programmed to
the remote engine start system in the
7-20
The vehicle placard shows original
tire size, recommended cold tire
inflation pressure on each tire at
maximum loaded vehicle weight,
seating capacity and loading infor-
mation.
!Adverse safety consequences
of under-inflation
CAUTION
Driving at high speeds with
excessively low tire pressures
can cause the tires to flex
severely and to rapidly be-
come hot. A sharp increase
in temperature could cause
tread separation, and failure
of the tire(s). Possible result-
ing loss of vehicle control
could lead to an accident.
!Measuring and adjusting air
pressure to achieve proper in-
flation
Check and, if necessary, adjust the
pressure of each tire (including the
spare) at least once a month andbefore any long journey. Check the
tire pressures when the tires are
cold. Use a pressure gauge to
adjust the tire pressures to the
specific values. Driving even a
short distance warms up the tires
and increases the tire pressures.
Also, the tire pressures are affected
by the outside temperature. It is
best to check tire pressure out-
doors before driving the vehicle.
When a tire becomes warm, the air
inside it expands, causing the tire
pressure to increase. Be careful not
to mistakenly release air from a
warm tire to reduce its pressure.
&Glossary of tire terminology
.Accessory weight
The combined weight (in excess of
those standard items which may be
replaced) of automatic transmis-
sion, power steering, power brakes,
power windows, power seats, radio,
and heater, to the extent that these
items are available as factory-in-
stalled equipment (whether in-stalled or not).
.Bead
The part of the tire that is made of
steel wires, wrapped or reinforced
by ply cords and that is shaped to fit
the rim.
.Bead separation
A breakdown of the bond between
components in the bead.
.Bias ply tire
A pneumatic tire in which the ply
cords that extend to the beads are
laid at alternate angles substantially
less than 90 degrees to the center-
line of the tread.
.Carcass
The tire structure, except tread and
sidewall rubber which, when in-
flated, bears the load.
.Chunking
The breaking away of pieces of the
tread or sidewall.
.Cold tire pressure
The pressure in a tire that has been
driven less than 1 mile or has been
standing for three hours or more.
