Power Outlets
Your vehicle is equipped with 12 Volt (15 Amp) power
outlets that can be used to power cellular phones, small elec-
tronics and other low powered electrical accessories. The
power outlets are labeled with either a “key” or a “battery”
symbol to indicate how the outlet is powered. Power outlets
labeled with a “key” are powered when the ignition is in the
MAR (ACC/ON/RUN) position, while the outlets labeled
with a “battery” are connected directly to the battery and
powered at all times.
NOTE:
• All accessories connected to the “battery” powered outlets should be removed or turned off when the vehicle is not in
use to protect the battery against discharge. Driver And Front Passenger Power Outlets
The power outlets are located in between the driver and
front passenger seats.

SAFETY 131
Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact, if the communication network
remains intact, and the power remains intact, depending on
the nature of the event, the ORC will determine whether to
have the Enhanced Accident Response System perform the
following functions:
• Cut off fuel to the engine (if equipped)
• Cut off battery power to the electric motor (if equipped)
• Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power
• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as thebattery has power or for 15 minutes from the intervention
of the Enhanced Accident Response System
• Unlock the power door locks
Your vehicle may also be designed to perform any of these
other functions in response to the Enhanced Accident
Response System:
• Turn off the Fuel Filter Heater, Turn off the HVAC Blower Motor, Close the HVAC Circulation Door • Cut off battery power to the:
• Engine
• Electric Motor (if equipped)
• Electric Power Steering
• Brake booster
• Automatic transmission gear selector
• Horn
• Front wiper
NOTE:
After an accident, remember to cycle the ignition to the STOP
(OFF/LOCK) position and remove the key from the ignition
switch to avoid draining the battery. Carefully check the
vehicle for fuel leaks in the engine compartment and on the
ground near the engine compartment and fuel tank before
resetting the system and starting the engine. If there are no
fuel leaks or damage to the vehicle electrical devices (e.g.
headlights) after an accident, reset the system by following
the procedure described below. If you have any doubt,

158 STARTING AND OPERATING
Cold Weather Operation
To ensure reliable starting at low temperatures, use of an
externally powered electric engine block heater (available
from your authorized dealer) is recommended.
To prevent possible engine damage while starting at low
temperatures, this vehicle will inhibit engine cranking when
the ambient temperature is less than -31°F (-35° C) and the oil
temperature sensor reading indicates an engine block heater
has not been used. The message “plug in engine heater” will
be displayed in the instrument cluster when the ambient
temperature is below -25°F (-32° C) at the time the engine is
shut off as a reminder.
Extended Park Starting
NOTE:
Extended Park condition occurs when the vehicle has not
been started or driven for at least 30 days.
1. Install a battery charger or jumper cables to the battery toensure a full battery charge during the crank cycle.
2. Cycle the ignition to the AVV/”START” position and release it when the engine starts. 3. If the engine fails to start within ten seconds, cycle the
ignition to the STOP (OFF/LOCK) position, wait five
seconds to allow the starter to cool, then repeat the
Extended Park Starting procedure.
4. If the engine fails to start after eight attempts, allow the starter to cool for at least 10 minutes, then repeat the
procedure.
If Engine Fails To Start

If the engine fails to start after you have followed the "Normal
Starting" or "Extreme Cold Weather" procedure, and has not
experienced an extended park condition as identified in
"Extended Park Starting" 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 MAR position, release the accelerator pedal
and repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not crank
continuously for more than 10 seconds at a time. Wait 10
to 15 seconds before trying again.
