REMOTE START — IF EQUIPPED
HOW TO USE REMOTE START
All of the following conditions must be met
before the engine will remote start:
Gear selector in PARK
Doors closed
Hood closed
Liftgate closed
Hazard switch off

Brake switch inactive (brake pedal not pushed)

Battery at an acceptable charge level
System not disabled from previous remote
start event
Vehicle security alarm not active
Ignition in the OFF position
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is not illumi -
nated
WARNING!
Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the
automatic transmission into PARK and
apply the parking brake. Always make sure
the keyless ignition is in the OFF position,
remove the key fob from the vehicle and
lock the vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat -
tended is dangerous for a number of
r e

asons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to chil-
dren, and do not leave the ignition of a
v e

hicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go
in the ACC or ON/RUN position. A child
could operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle.

Do not leave children or animals inside parked
vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build-up
may cause serious injury or death.

CAUTION!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation for
thieves. Always remove the key fobs from
vehicle, place the ignition in the OFF position
and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.

LIFTGATE
OPENING
The liftgate can be unlocked or locked pushing
the unlock or lock button on the Remote
Keyless Entry key fob, the Keyless Enter-N-Go
(Passive Entry) lock/unlock button underneath
the left side of the accent bar, which is located

or the door lock cylinder on the driver's door.
To open the unlocked liftgate, squeeze the
h a

ndle and pull the liftgate toward you. Gas
props will raise and support the liftgate in the
open position.

Liftgate Release

en opening the liftgate in cold weather.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage:
Before closing hood, make sure the hood
prop rod is fully seated into its storage
retaining clips.

STARTING AND OPERATING 159
(Continued)
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
(B
ELOW –22°F OR −30°C)
To ensure reliable starting at these
temperatures, use of an externally powered
electric engine block heater (available from an
authorized dealer) is recommended.
IF ENGINE FAILS TO START
If the engine fails to start after you have
followed the "Normal Starting" or "Cold Weather
Operation" procedure it may be flooded. Push
the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and
hold it there. Crank the engine for no more than
15 seconds. This should clear any excess fuel in
case the engine is flooded. Leave the ignition
key in the RUN position, release the accelerator
pedal and repeat the “Normal Starting”
procedure.
AFTER STARTING
The idle speed is controlled automatically, and
it will decrease as the engine warms up.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER — IF EQUIPPED
The engine block heater warms the engine, and
permits quicker starts in cold weather. Connect
the cord to a standard 110-115 Volt AC
electrical outlet with a grounded, three-wire
extension cord.
The engine block heater must be plugged in at
le

ast one hour to have an adequate effect on
the engine.
The engine block heater cord is bundled under
t h

e hood between the headlight assembly and
the Totally Integrated Power Module (Fuse Box)
on the driver's side of the vehicle.
WARNING!
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid
into the throttle body air inlet opening in an
attempt to start the vehicle. This could
result in flash fire causing serious personal
injury.
Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle
to get it started. Vehicles equipped with an
automatic transmission cannot be started
this way. Unburned fuel could enter the
catalytic converter and once the engine has
started, ignite and damage the converter
and vehicle.
If the vehicle has a discharged battery,
booster cables may be used to obtain a
start from a booster battery or the battery in
another vehicle. This type of start can be
dangerous if done improperly. Refer to
“Jump Starting Procedure” in “In Case Of
Emergency” for further information.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not
continuously crank the engine for more than
25 seconds at a time. Wait 60 seconds
before trying again.
WARNING! (Continued)
WARNING!
Remember to disconnect the engine block
heater cord before driving. Damage to the
110-115 Volt electrical cord could cause
electrocution.

Turning the lamps on will usually accelerate the
clearing process.
