Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge WARNING: Do not remove the
coolant reservoir cap when the engine is
on or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10
minutes for the cooling system to cool
down. Cover the coolant reservoir cap
with a thick cloth to prevent the
possibility of scalding and slowly remove
the cap. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury.
At normal operating temperature, the
engine coolant temperature will be in the
middle range of the gauge. If the engine
coolant temperature exceeds the normal
range, the gauge will be highlighted. Stop
your vehicle as soon as safely possible,
switch off the engine and let it cool.
Engine Oil Temperature Gauge
If the engine oil temperature exceeds the
normal range, the engine is overheating.
Reduce engine speed as soon as safely
possible to allow the engine to cool. If you
continue to operate the engine at high
engine speeds, the engine speed reduces
automatically to prevent engine damage.
Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
Oil pressure varies with engine speed. The
pressure rises as engine speed rises and
drops as engine speed drops. If the pressure drops below the normal
range of the gauge, a warning lamp
illuminates and a message appears in the
information display. Stop your vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so and switch the
engine off. Check the engine oil level.
Gauge Mode
On the right side of the instrument cluster,
you can configure which gauges are
displayed.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: Extended idling at
high engine speeds can produce very
high temperatures in the engine and
exhaust system, creating the risk of fire
or other damage. WARNING:
Do not park, idle or
drive your vehicle on dry grass or other
dry ground cover. The emission system
heats up the engine compartment and
exhaust system, creating the risk of fire. WARNING:
Do not start the
engine in a closed garage or in other
enclosed areas. Exhaust fumes can be
toxic. Always open the garage door
before you start the engine. WARNING:
Exhaust leaks may
result in entry of harmful and potentially
lethal fumes into the passenger
compartment. If you smell exhaust
fumes inside your vehicle, have your
vehicle inspected immediately. Do not
drive if you smell exhaust fumes.
If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately
5 mi
(8 km) after you reconnect it. This is
because the engine management system
must realign itself with the engine. You
can disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.
The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise. When you start the engine, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal before and during
operation. Only use the accelerator pedal
when you have difficulty starting the
engine.
KEYLESS STARTING
Note:
The keyless starting system may not
function if the key is close to metal objects
or electronic devices such as cellular
phones.
Note: A valid key must be located inside
your vehicle to switch the ignition on and
start the engine.
Ignition Modes The keyless starting system has three
modes:
Off:
Turns the ignition off.
• Without applying the brake pedal,
press and release the button once
when the ignition is in the on mode, or
when the engine is running but the
vehicle is not moving.

and the warning lamps and indicators
illuminate.
• Without applying the brake pedal,
press and release the button once.
Start:
Starts the engine.

•
Press the brake pedal and then press
the button for any length of time.
STEERING WHEEL LOCK
The steering wheel locks automatically
when you leave your vehicle and take the
intelligent access key with you. The
steering wheel unlocks automatically when
you enter your vehicle with the intelligent
access key.
Note: You may need to turn the steering
wheel left or right if the wheel does not
unlock completely. This may happen in
certain situations, such as parking your
vehicle on a steep grade.
STARTING THE ENGINE
When you start the engine, the idle speed
increases. This helps to warm up the
engine. If the engine idle speed does not
slow down automatically, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.
Note: You can crank the engine for a total
of 60 seconds, without the engine starting,
before the starting system temporarily
disables. The 60 seconds does not have to
be all at once. For example, you can crank
the engine three times for 20 seconds each,
without the engine starting, to reach the 60
second time limit. If you exceed the
cranking time, you cannot attempt to start
the engine for at least 15 minutes. After 15
minutes, you have a 15 second time limit to
crank the engine. You need to wait 60
minutes before you crank the engine again
for 60 seconds.
Before starting the engine, check the
following:
• Make sure all occupants fasten their
seatbelts.
• Make sure the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off. •
Make sure the parking brake is on.
• Move the transmission selector into
park (P).
Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
Note: You must have your intelligent access
key in the vehicle in order to shift the
transmission out of park (P). 1. Fully press the brake pedal.
2.
Press the Engine START/STOP button.
The system does not function if:
• The key frequencies are jammed.
• The key battery has no charge.
