GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 149

4. The STOP/START system will reset itself back to an ONcondition every time the ignition is turned off and back
on.
Automatic Shutdown
This vehicle is equipped with an automatic shutdown
feature. If the vehicle is left in READY mode (vehicle
running) with the gear selector in PARK for one hour after
the driver exits, this feature will automatically turn the
vehicle off. Notifications have been added into this feature
to raise awareness of the timed event:
• In the interior of the vehicle, the instrument cluster will
display “Ready To Drive”, and will be accompanied by
three audible chimes while exiting. These interior warn-
ings will occur regardless of whether the key fob re-
mains in the vehicle or is removed.
• For the exterior of the vehicle, the horn will sound three
times if the fob is removed from the vehicle and the
vehicle is in the “READY” mode.
Please consider this feature when intentionally running the
vehicle for extended periods of time over one hour. To
restart the vehicle, follow the normal vehicle starting
process. NOTE:
If the vehicle is left in the ACC or RUN (engine not
running) position and the transmission is in PARK, the
system will automatically time out (shut down) after an
initial 30 minutes of inactivity, followed by the additional
amount of time for power accessory delay selected in the
radio settings menu. Once the vehicle times out, it will
switch to the OFF position.
To Manually Turn On The Stop/Start System
After turning off the STOP/START system, push the
STOP/START OFF switch again (located on the instrument
panel). The light on the switch will turn off.
System Malfunction
If there is a malfunction in the STOP/START system, the
system will not shut down the engine. A “SERVICE STOP/
START SYSTEM” message will appear in the instrument
cluster display and the Stop/Start telltale will remain
yellow. Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting
To Know Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
If the “SERVICE STOP/START SYSTEM” message appears
in the instrument cluster display, have the system checked
by your authorized dealer.

Accessory Drive Belt Inspection
WARNING!
•Do not attempt to inspect an accessory drive belt
with vehicle running.
• When working near the radiator cooling fan, discon-
nect the fan motor lead. The fan is temperature
controlled and can start at any time regardless of
ignition mode. You could be injured by the moving
fan blades.
• You can be badly injured working on or around a
motor vehicle. Only do service work for which you
have the knowledge and the proper equipment. If
you have any doubt about your ability to perform a
service job, take your vehicle to a competent me-
chanic.
When inspecting accessory drive belts, small cracks that
run across ribbed surface of belt from rib to rib, are
considered normal. These are not a reason to replace belt.
However, cracks running along a rib (not across) are not
normal. Any belt with cracks running along a rib must be
replaced. Also have the belt replaced if it has excessive
wear, frayed cords or severe glazing. Conditions that would require replacement:
•
Rib chunking (one or more ribs has separated from belt
body)
• Rib or belt wear
• Longitudinal belt cracking (cracks between two ribs)
• Belt slips
• “Groove jumping (belt does not maintain correct posi-
tion on pulley)
• Belt broken (note: identify and correct problem before
new belt is installed)
