READ THIS CAREFULLY
Refueling
Gas engines: Do not use fuel containing methanol or ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and driving issues, as well
as damage vital components of the supply system.
Diesel engines: Do not use other products or mixtures as they may cause damage to the engine beyond repair and consequently invali -
date the warranty. For further details on the use of the correct fuel, see
Ú
page 255.
Starting The Engine
Make sure that the electric park brake is engaged and that the transmission is in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). Next, press the brake pedal,
and then push the engine START/STOP button.
Parking On Flammable Material
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the vehicle on potential fire hazards such as: grass, dry
leaves, pine needles or other flammable material.
Respecting The Environment
The vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the
environment (if equipped).
Electrical Accessories
If you decide to add electrical accessories after purchasing the vehicle, with the risk of gradually draining the battery, contact an autho -
rized dealer. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support the required
load.
Scheduled Servicing
Correctly performed maintenance procedures are essential for ensuring that your vehicle continuously maintains its quality in perfor -
mance and safety features, environmental friendliness, and low running costs.

REMOTE START — IF EQUIPPED
This system uses the key fob to start
the engine conveniently from
outside the vehicle while still main-
taining security.

NOTE:

Obstructions between the vehicle and key fob
may reduce this range
Ú
page 268.
How To Use Remote Start

twice within five seconds. The vehicle doors will lock, the turn signals will flash twice, and
the horn will chirp twice. Pushing the Remote
Start button a third time shuts the engine off.

NOTE:

With Remote Start, the engine will only run
for 15 minutes.
Remote Start can only be used twice.
If an engine fault is present or fuel level is
low, the vehicle will start and then shut
down in 10 seconds.
The park lamps will turn on and remain on
during Remote Start mode.
For security, power window operation is
disabled when the vehicle is in the Remote
Start mode.
The ignition must be placed in the ACC posi
-
tion before the Remote Start sequence can
be repeated for a third cycle.
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

Battery at an acceptable charge level
PANIC button not pushed
System not disabled from previous remote
start event
Vehicle Security system indicator flashing
Ignition in OFF position

To Exit Remote Start Mode
To drive the vehicle after starting the Remote
Start system, either push and release the
unlock button on the key fob to unlock the
doors, or unlock the vehicle using Passive
Entry via the door handles, and disarm the
vehicle security system (if equipped). Then,
prior to the end of the 15 minute cycle, push
and release the START/STOP ignition button
while pressing the brake pedal.
The Remote Start system will turn the engine
off with another push and release of the
Remote Start button on the key fob, or if the

An unlocked vehicle is an invitation for
thieves. Always remove key fob from the
vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the
vehicle unattended.
WARNING!
Do not start or run an engine in a closed
garage or confined area. Exhaust gas
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is
odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide
is poisonous and can cause serious injury
or death when inhaled.
Keep key fobs away from children. Opera -
tion of the Remote Start system, windows,
door locks or other controls could cause
serious injury or death.
