Engine" in "Starting And Operating” in the
Owner’s Manual.
Integrated/Manual Ignition — If Equipped
This vehicle may be equipped with an
integrated/manual ignition switch. It has
three operating positions, two with detents
and one that is spring-loaded. The detent
positions are OFF, ON/RUN, and START. The
START position is a spring-loaded momen-
tary contact position. When released from the
START position, the switch automatically re-
turns to the RUN position.OFF
• The engine is stopped.
• The key can be removed from the ignition
switch.
• The steering column can be locked (with
the ignition key removed).
• Some electrical devices (e.g. power locks,
alarm, etc.) are still available.
ON/RUN
• Driving position.
• Electrical devices are available.
START
• Start the engine.
The ignition switch is provided with a safety
mechanism. If the engine fails to start, the
ignition should be returned to the STOP/OFF
position prior to repeating the starting proce-
dure.
On models equipped with an automatic
transmission, the ignition key is only remov-
able when the gear selector is in PARK (P).
Electronic Steering Wheel Lock —
If Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with a passive
electronic steering wheel lock. This lock pre-
vents steering the vehicle with the ignition
OFF. The steering wheel lock releases with
the ignition ON. If the lock does not disen-
gage and the vehicle does not start, turn the
wheel to the left and right to disengage the
lock.
Mechanical Steering Wheel Lock —
If Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with a me-
chanical steering wheel lock. This lock pre-
vents steering the vehicle with the ignition
OFF. With the engine running, rotate the
steering wheel one-half revolution in either
direction (six o’clock position), turn off the
engine and remove the key. Turn the steering
wheel slightly in either direction until the
lock engages.

The Rain Sensing system has protection fea-
tures for the wiper blades and arms, and will
not operate under the following conditions:
•Change In Ignition Position— If the vehicle
is in Rain Sensing mode and the ignition is
cycled from OFF to ON, the auto wiper will
be suppressed until vehicle speed is greater
than 3 mph (5 km/h), or the wiper switch is
moved out of and back into the Intermittent
wipe position.
•Transmission In NEUTRAL Position— The
Rain Sensing system will not operate if the
NEUTRAL gear is selected at speeds of
3 mph (5 km/h) or less unless the wiper
switch is moved or the gear selector is
moved out of NEUTRAL.
Remote Start Mode Inhibit— On vehicles
equipped with Remote Starting system, Rain
Sensing wipers are not operational when the
vehicle is in the remote start mode. Once the
operator is in the vehicle and has placed the
ignition switch in the ON/RUN position, Rain
Sensing wiper operation can resume, if it has
been selected, and no other inhibit condi-
tions (mentioned previously) exist.Rear Window Wiper/Washer
The rear wiper/washer controls are located on
the windshield wiper/washer lever on the
right side of the steering column. The rear
wiper/washer is operated by rotating a switch,
located at the middle of the lever.
Rotate the center portion of the lever upward
to the first detent for intermittent operation
and to the second detent for continuous rear
wiper operation.
To use the washer, push the lever forward and
hold while spray is desired. If the lever is
pushed while the wiper is in the off position,
the wiper will operate for several wipe cycles,
then turn off.
CLIMATE CONTROLS
The Climate Control System allows you to
regulate the temperature, air flow, and direc-
tion of air circulating throughout the vehicle.
The controls are located on the touchscreen
(if equipped) and on the instrument panel
below the radio.
Automatic Climate Controls Overview
The controls for the heating and air condi-
tioning system in this vehicle can consist of a
series of outer rotary dials, inner push knobs,
and/or a touchscreen. These comfort controls
can be set to obtain desired interior condi-
tions.

If Equipped
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
change indicator system. The “Oil Change
Due” message will display in the instrument
cluster display for five seconds after a single
chime has sounded, to indicate the next
scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil
change indicator system is duty cycle based,
which means the engine oil change interval
may fluctuate, dependent upon your personal
driving style.
Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) — If Equipped
The Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) system is en-
abled on vehicles with a manual transmis-
sion, or when a vehicle with an automatic
transmission is in manual shift mode. The
GSI provides the driver with a visual indica-
tion when the recommended gear shift point
has been reached. This indication notifies
the driver that changing gear will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption. When the up
shift indicator is shown on the instrument
cluster display, the GSI is advising the driver
to engage a higher gear. When the down shift
indicator is shown on the display, the GSI is
advising the driver to engage a lower gear.
The GSI indicator remains illuminated until
the driver changes gear, or the driving condi-
tions return to a situation where changing
gear is not required to improve fuel consump-
tion.

brake pedals are pressed at the same time.If the light continues to flash when the ve-
hicle is running, immediate service is re-
quired and you may experience reduced per-
formance, an elevated/rough idle, or engine
stall and your vehicle may require towing.

placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN posi-
tion and remain on briefly as a bulb check. If
the light does not come on during starting,
have the system checked by an authorized
dealer.

This warning light will illuminate to warn of
an overheated engine condition. If the engine
coolant temperature is too high, this light will
illuminate and a single chime will sound.
If the light turns on while driving, safely pull
over and stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is
on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission
into NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the
temperature reading does not return to nor-
mal, turn the engine off immediately and call
for service.

remains after restarting the engine.
— Transmission Temperature Warning
Light — If Equipped
This warning light will illuminate to warn of a
high transmission fluid temperature. This may
occur with strenuous usage such as trailer tow-
ing. If this light turns on, stop the vehicle and
run the engine at idle or slightly faster, with the
transmission in PARK or NEUTRAL, until the
light turns off. Once the light turns off, you may
continue to drive normally.
WARNING!
If you continue operating the vehicle when
the Transmission Temperature Warning
Light is illuminated you could cause the
fluid to boil over, come in contact with hot
engine or exhaust components and cause a
fire.

Brake System (ABS). The light will turn on
when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN or
ACC/ON/RUN position and may stay on for as
long as four seconds.If the ABS light remains on or turns on while
driving, then the Anti-Lock portion of the

cluster will come on when the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN posi-
tion, and when ESC is activated. It should goout with the engine running. If the “ESC
Indicator Light” comes on continuously with
the engine running, a malfunction has been
detected in the ESC system. If this warning
light remains on after several ignition cycles,
and the vehicle has been driven several miles
(kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph
(48 km/h), see an authorized dealer as soon
as possible to have the problem diagnosed
and corrected.
• The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the
“ESC Indicator Light” come on momen-
tarily each time the ignition is placed in the
ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN position.
