IGNITIONSYSTEM
Operation
To activate the keyless ignition, the key
fob must be inside the vehicle.
The keyless ignition has the following
modes:
STOP: engine off, steering locked.
Some electrical devices (e.g. central door
locking system, alarm, etc.) are still
available.
ON: all electrical devices are available.
This state can be entered by pushing the
ignition button once, without pressing the
brake pedal.
AVV: engine starting. This state can be
entered by pushing the ignition button
once while pressing the brake pedal. Note:
With the keyless ignition in the ON
position: if 30 minutes pass with the
gear selector in P (Park) and the engine
stopped, the keyless ignition will
automatically reset to the STOP
position.
With the engine started, it is possible
to remove the key fob from the vehicle.
The engine will remain running and the
instrument cluster will indicate the
absence of the key fob when the door is
closed.
For more information on engine start-up,
refer to "Starting The Engine" in "Starting
And Operating."
Warning!
Never use the PARK position as a
substitute for the parking brake. Always
apply the parking brake fully when parked
to guard against vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
When exiting the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in the OFF mode, remove
the key fob from the vehicle, and lock your
vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing
children to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of reasons. A child
or others could be seriously or fatally
injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the
transmission gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, (or in a location accessible to
children), and do not leave the ignition in the
AVV or ON/RUN mode. A child could operate
power windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
Be sure the parking brake is fully
disengaged before driving; failure to do so
can lead to brake failure and a collision.
Always fully apply the parking brake when
leaving your vehicle, or it may roll and cause
damage or injury. Also be certain to leave
the transmission in PARK. Failure to do so
may allow the vehicle to roll and cause
damage or injury.
Driving the vehicle with the parking brake
engaged, or repeated use of the parking
brake to slow the vehicle may cause serious
damage to the brake system.
Caution!
If the Brake System Warning Light remains
on with the parking brake released, a brake
system malfunction is indicated. Have the
brake system serviced by an authorized
dealer immediately.

1. Tachometer
Indicates the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (RPM x 1000).
Inside the tachometer there is a light
sensor capable of detecting ambient light
conditions and adjusting the operating
mode (night/day) and the brightness of the instrument panel and the Information
and Entertainment System display.
2. Engine Oil Temperature Gauge
The digital bar indicator monitors the
temperature of the engine oil and starts
supplying indications when the fluid
temperature reaches approximately
122°F (50°C).
Under normal usage, the digital scale
should hover around the middle of the
scale according to the working
conditions.

call an authorized dealer for service if your
vehicle overheats. If you decide to look under
the hood yourself, see “Maintaining Your
Vehicle”. Follow the warnings under the
Cooling System Pressure Cap paragraph.
Caution!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system
could damage your vehicle. If the
temperature gauge reads “H” pull over and
stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the pointer drops
back into the normal range. If the pointer
remains on the “H”, turn the engine off
immediately and call an authorized dealer
for service.
3. Instrument Cluster Display
The instrument cluster display
features a driver-interactive display.
Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel”
for further information.
4. Fuel Gauge
The digital bar gauge shows the
amount of fuel in the tank.
Thewarning light turns on, a
message is displayed and there is an
acoustic signal when about 2.4 gallons
(9 liters) of fuel are left in the tank.
The fuel pump symbol points to the
side of the vehicle where the fuel door is
located.
Note: If the low fuel warning light
switches on, refuel at the earliest
opportunity.
