Driving and Operating 167
1. Press the brake pedal, thenpress ENGINE START/STOP
on the instrument panel.
If there is no remote key in the
vehicle or if there is something
causing interference with it, the
Driver Information Center (DIC)
will display a message.
2. When the engine begins cranking, let go of the button
and the engine cranks
automatically until it starts.
If the battery in the remote key
is weak, the DIC will display a
message. The vehicle can still
be driven.
See “Starting the Vehicle with a
Low Transmitter Battery” under
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation 09. If the
remote key battery is dead,
insert it into the cupholder
transmitter pocket to enable
engine starting.
3. Do not race the engine immediately after starting it.
Operate the engine and transmission gently until the oil
warms up and lubricates all
moving parts.
4. If the engine does not start and no DIC message is displayed,
wait 15 seconds before trying
again to let the cranking motor
cool down.
If the engine does not start
after five to 10 seconds,
especially in very cold weather
(below −18 °C or 0 °F), it could
be flooded with too much
gasoline. Try pushing the
accelerator pedal all the way to
the floor while cranking for up
to 15 seconds maximum. Wait
at least 15 seconds between
each try, to allow the cranking
motor to cool down. When the
engine starts, let go of the
accelerator. If the vehicle starts
briefly but then stops again,
repeat these steps. This clears
the extra gasoline from the
engine.Caution
Cranking the engine for long
periods of time, by pressing
ENGINE START/STOP
immediately after cranking has
ended, can overheat and damage
the cranking motor, and drain the
battery. Wait at least 15 seconds
between each try, to let the
cranking motor cool down.
Stopping the Engine
Shift to P (Park) and press and hold
ENGINE START/STOP on the
instrument panel, until the engine
shuts off. If the transmission is not
in P (Park), the engine shuts off and
the vehicle goes into the accessory
mode. The DIC displays SHIFT TO
PARK. When shifted to P (Park) the
vehicle turns off.
If the remote key is not detected
inside the vehicle when it is turned
off, the DIC displays a message.

270 Vehicle Care
6. Release the five clips andremove the outer cover to
access the battery.
7. Locate the battery positive (+) and negative (−) terminals.
8. Check that the jumper cables do not have loose or missing
insulation. If they do, you could
get a shock. The vehicles
could be damaged too.
9. Open the positive terminal trim cover and connect the red
positive (+) cable to the
positive (+) terminal (2) of the
dead battery.
10. Do not let the other end touch metal. Connect it to the
positive (+) terminal (4) of the
good battery.
11. Now connect the black negative (−) cable to the
negative (−) terminal (3) of the
good battery.
Do not let the other end touch
anything until the next step. 12. Connect the other end of the
negative (−) cable to the
negative (−) terminal (1) on the
dead battery.
13. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run the
engine for a while.
14. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead battery. If it will not
start after a few tries, it
probably needs service.
Caution
If the jumper cables are
connected or removed in the
wrong order, electrical shorting
may occur and damage the
vehicle. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Always connect and remove the
jumper cables in the correct order,
making sure that the cables do
not touch each other or other
metal. Jumper Cable Removal
Reverse the sequence exactly when
removing the jumper cables.
After starting the disabled vehicle
and removing the jumper cables,
allow it to idle for several minutes.
The power windows may need to be
initialized. See
“Window Indexing”
under Power Windows 035.
