of the headlights, parking lights, turn signals, 
headlight beam selection and the passing 
lights. The multifunction lever is located on the 
left side of the steering column.

To turn on the headlights, turn the end of the 
multifunction lever to the headlight position. 
When the headlight switch is on, the parking 
lights, taillights, license plate light, clearance 
lights and instrument panel lights are also 
turned on. To turn off the headlights, turn the 
end of the multifunction lever back to the O (Off) 
position.

Running Lights will be deactivated.
To activate the DRLs, rotate the end of the 
multifunction lever to the O (Off) position.

on with DRLs.
In certain markets, the DRLs can be 
programmed on or off through the Uconnect 
system  Ú
page 87.
For vehicles sold in Canada, the Daytime 
Running Lights will automatically deactivate 
when the front fog lights are turned on.
The DRLs will come on whenever the ignition is 
on, the headlight switch is off, and the turn 
signal is off.

STARTING AND OPERATING
STARTING THE ENGINE 
Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, 
adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and 
fasten your seat belts.
Automatic Transmission
The gear selector must be in the PARK (P) or 
NEUTRAL (N) position before you can start the 
engine. Press the brake pedal before shifting to 
any driving gear.
NOTE:
You must press the brake pedal before shifting 
out of PARK.
Normal Starting
Turn the ignition switch to the AVV (START) 
position and release it when the engine starts. 
If the engine fails to start within 10 seconds, 
turn the ignition switch to the STOP (OFF/LOCK) 
position, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then repeat 
this procedure.
Cold Weather Operation 
To ensure reliable starting at low temperatures, 
use of an externally powered electric engine 
block heater (available from an 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 to ensure a full battery 
charge during the crank cycle.
2. Place the ignition in the AVV (START)  position and release it when the engine 
starts.
WARNING!
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or 
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat -
tended is dangerous for a number of 
reasons. A child or others could be seriously 
or fatally injured. Children should be 
warned not to touch the parking brake, 
brake pedal or the transmission gear 
selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the 
vehicle (or in a location accessible to chil -
dren). A child could operate power 
windows, other controls, or move the 
vehicle.
