If the light continues to flash when the
vehicle is running, immediate service is
required. You may experience reduced
performance, an elevated/rough idle, or
engine stall and your vehicle may require
towing. The light will come on when the igni-
tion is placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/
RUN position 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.
— Engine Coolant Temperature Warning
Light
This light warns of an overheated engine
condition. If the engine coolant temperature
is too high, this indicator 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
normal, turn the engine off immediately and
call for service. Refer to “If Your Engine
Overheats” in “In Case Of Emergency” for
further information.
— Hood Open Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate when the
hood is left open and not fully closed.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is moving, there will also be a
single chime.
— Liftgate Open Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate when the
liftgate is open.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is moving, there will also be a
single chime.
— Oil Pressure Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate to indicate
low engine oil pressure. A chime will sound
when this light turns on and a message “Oil
Pressure Low” will display in the message
screen. If the light turns on while driving,
pull the vehicle to the side of the road at a
safe location, stop the vehicle, shut off the
engine as soon as possible, check the oil
level and correct the oil level if it is low.
Contact an authorized dealer. Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is
corrected. This light may or may not indicate
how much oil is in the engine. The engine oil
level must be checked according to section
“Scheduling Service” Checking Oil Level. If
the oil level is low and corrected, the engine
can be restarted. Otherwise the vehicle
should be serviced by an authorized dealer.
NOTE:
The light may flash, a message in the center
of the dash may be displayed momentarily
“low oil pressure” and a chime may occur
during sharp cornering maneuvers. If this
happen it may indicate a low oil level. The oil
level should be checked and serviced by a
dealer if this occurs.

This warning light will illuminate to indicate
the engine oil temperature is high. If the light
turns on while driving, stop the vehicle and
shut off the engine as soon as possible. Wait for
oil temperature to return to normal levels.

Engine has not reached normal operating
temperature
The transmission is not in a forward or
reverse gear
Hood is open
Vehicle is in 4WD LOW transfer case mode
(if equipped with 4WD)
Brake pedal is not pressed with sufficient
pressure with vehicle in DRIVE position
Other Factors Which Can Inhibit Autostop
Include:

5 mph threshold not achieved from
previous AUTOSTOP
Steering angle beyond threshold
ACC is on and speed is set
It may be possible for the vehicle to be driven
several times without the Stop/Start system
going into a STOP/START READY state
under more extreme conditions of the items
listed above.
To Start The Engine While In Autostop
Mode
While in a forward gear, the engine will start
when the brake pedal is released or the
throttle pedal is depressed. The transmission
will automatically re-engage upon engine
restart.
Conditions That Will Cause The Engine To Start
Automatically While In Autostop Mode:
The transmission gear selector is moved
out of DRIVE except in the PARK position.
To maintain cabin temperature comfort
HVAC is set to full defrost mode
HVAC system temperature or fan speed is
manually adjusted
Battery voltage drops too low
Low brake vacuum (e.g. after several brake
pedal applications)
Stop/Start OFF switch is pushed
A Stop/Start system error occurs

about the operation of the Stop/Start system
may be viewed in the instrument cluster
Stop/Start Screen. In the following situations
the engine will not stop:
Driver’s seat belt is not buckled.
Driver’s door is not closed.
Battery temperature is too warm or cold.
The vehicle is on a steep grade.
Cabin heating or cooling is in process and
an acceptable cabin temperature has not
been achieved.
HVAC is set to full defrost mode at a high
blower speed.
Engine has not reached normal operating
temperature.
Battery charge is low.
The transmission is not in DRIVE (auto-
matic transmission) or NEUTRAL (manual

Hood is open.
Vehicle is in 4WD LOW transfer case
mode.
Exhaust system regeneration in process.
Other Factors Which Can Inhibit Autostop
Include:
Fuel level.
Accelerator pedal input (automatic trans-
mission only).

It may be possible for the vehicle to be driven
several times without the Stop/Start system
going into a STOP/START READY state
under more extreme conditions of the items
listed above.
To Start The Engine While In Autostop
Mode
Automatic Transmission:

When the gear selector is in NEUTRAL, the
engine will start when the clutch pedal is
pressed. The vehicle will go into STOP/START
SYSTEM NOT READY mode until the vehicle
speed is greater than 4 mph (7 km/h).

Conditions That Will Cause The Engine To Start
Automatically While In Autostop Mode:

The transmission gear selector is moved
from DRIVE to REVERSE or NEUTRAL.
To maintain cabin temperature comfort.
HVAC is set to full defrost mode.
Battery voltage drops too low.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
210
(Continued)
Preparations For Jump Start
The battery in your vehicle is located in the
front of the engine compartment, behind the
left headlight assembly.Positive Battery Post NOTE:
Never use a fast battery charger to start the
engine, as this could damage the electronic
systems of your vehicle, particularly the igni
-
tion and engine fuel supply control units.
1. Apply the parking brake, shift the auto -
matic transmission into PARK (manual
transmission in NEUTRAL) and turn the
ignition OFF.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnec -
essary electrical accessories.
3. If using another vehicle to jump start the battery, park the vehicle within the
jumper cables reach, apply the parking
brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.
Jump Starting Procedure
WARNING!
Take care to avoid the radiator cooling
fan whenever the hood is raised. It can
start anytime the ignition switch is ON.
You can be injured by moving fan blades.
Remove any metal jewelry such as rings,
watch bands and bracelets that could
make an inadvertent electrical contact.
You could be seriously injured.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can
burn your skin or eyes and generate
hydrogen gas which is flammable and
explosive. Keep open flames or sparks
away from the battery.
WARNING! (Continued) WARNING!

Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as
this could establish a ground connection and
personal injury could result.

WARNING!
Failure to follow this jump starting
procedure could result in personal injury or
property damage due to battery explosion.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures could
result in damage to the charging system of
the booster vehicle or the discharged
vehicle.
