electrical accessories such as the lights, climate
control system, and rear de fogger in order to reduce
battery drain.
If you live in a region where winter is extremely cold,
an engine block heater will improve starting and
warming of the engine. Cons ult a dealer for details.
If the exhaust system sounds abnormal or you can
smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle, have your vehicle
checked by a dealer. There may be a problem with
the engine or exhaust system.
Bring the remote close to the ENGINE START/STOP
button if the battery in the remote is weak. 2 If the Remote Battery is Weak P. 715
The engine may not start if the remote is subjected to
strong radio waves.
Do not hold the ENGINE START/STOP button to
start the engine.
