GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

58

OPENING AND CLOSING THE SUNROOF
To open the sunroof’s front panel, push the
open/close button toward the rear of the vehicle
to open to the comfort position (half way).
Pushing the button a second time will open to the
fully open position.
To close the sunroof, push the open/close button
toward the front of the vehicle. The roof will close
completely.
The automatic motion can be interrupted in any
position by pushing the open/close button again.
VENTING SUNROOF
To bring the roof into vent position, push and
release the vent button.
This type of vent opening can be activated
regardless of the position of the sunroof. When
starting with the roof in the closed position,
pushing the vent button automatically causes the
sunroof to open to the vent position. If the roof is
already open, the button must be held until the
roof reaches the vent-opening position.
Pushing the vent button again during automatic
movement of the roof will stop it.
SUNSHADE OPERATION
The sunshade is power operated.
Push the Power Shade open/close button toward
the rear of the vehicle to open the sun shade.
Push the Power Shade open/close button toward
the front of the vehicle to close the sun shade.
The automatic motion can be interrupted in any
position by pushing the Power Shade open/close
button again.
PINCH PROTECT FEATURE

The sunroof has an anti-pinch safety system
capable of detecting the presence of an obstacle
during the closing movement. If an obstacle is
detected, the system intervenes and the
movement of the sunroof is immediately reversed.

RE-INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE
Automatic operation of the sunroof must be
re-initialized in case of faulty sunroof operation. It
may also be necessary to initialize the sunroof
after the vehicle’s battery has been disconnected
and then reconnected.

NOTE:
The anti-pinch safety device is deactivated during
the re-initialization procedure.
Proceed as follows:
1. With the ignition in the ON/RUN position, make sure the sunroof glass is fully closed
(sunshade open).
2. Open the driver’s side door, and place the ignition in the OFF position.
3. Within five seconds, place the ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN position.
4. Within 10 seconds, push and hold the sunroof close switch (forward). After
8 -10 seconds of holding the switch, the
re-initialization process will begin. Continue
to hold the switch while the sunroof motor
cycles, and the sunshade will fully close.
5. Once the sunroof glass and the power sunshade have stopped motion, release the
sunroof close switch, then push and hold it
again within five seconds. Continue to hold
the switch while the sunshade fully opens,
the sunroof glass fully opens, followed by the
glass fully closing then the sunshade fully
closing.
6. Release the switch once all of the operations stop. Re-initialization of the sunroof motors is
now complete.
WARNING!
Never leave children unattended in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Never
leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in
a location accessible to children. Do not
leave the Keyless Push Button Ignition in the
ON/RUN position. Occupants, particularly
unattended children, can become entrapped
by the power sunroof while operating the
power sunroof switch. Such entrapment may
result in serious injury or death.
In a collision, there is a greater risk of being
thrown from a vehicle with an open sunroof.
You could also be seriously injured or killed.
Always fasten your seat belt properly and
make sure all passengers are also properly
secured.
Do not allow small children to operate the
sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other body
parts, or any object, to project through the
sunroof opening. Injury may result.
CAUTION!
Do not open the sun roof if a roof rack or
crossbars are fitted. Do not open the sun roof
if there is snow or ice on it: you may damage it.

Engine Oil Change Required —
If Equipped
The telltale is illuminated only for a
limited time.

NOTE:
After the first indication, each time the engine is
started the symbol will continue to illuminate as
described above until the oil is changed.
If the telltale flashes, this does not mean that
there is a fault on the vehicle, rather it simply
reports that it is now necessary to change the oil
as a result of regular use of the vehicle. The
deterioration of engine oil is accelerated by using
the vehicle for short drives, preventing the engine
from reaching operating temperature.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Engine Oil Level Sensor Failure
The telltale will illuminate in the event of
engine oil level sensor failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.

The telltale will illuminate in the event of
a fault in the Lane Departure Warning
system.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
CAUTION!
Deteriorated engine oil should be replaced as
soon as possible after the symbol is switched
on, and never more than 500 miles (805 km)
after it first switches on. Failure to observe the
above may result in severe damage to the
engine and invalidate the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. When this symbol comes on, it does
not mean that the level of engine oil is low, so

System not disabled from previous remote
start event.
Vehicle Security System indicator flashing.
Ignition in the OFF position (if equipped with
keyless ignition system).
Fuel level meets minimum requirement.
Remote Start Comfort Systems — If Equipped
When Remote Start is activated, the heated
steering wheel and driver heated seat features
will automatically turn on in cold weather.
These features will stay on through the duration
of remote start until the ignition is placed in the
ON/RUN position.
Remote Start Windshield Wiper De–Icer
Activation — If Equipped
When remote start is active and the outside
ambient temperature is less than 39°F (4°C),
the Windshield Wiper De-Icer will be enabled.
Exiting remote start will resume previous
operation, except if the Windshield Wiper De-Icer
is active.
The Windshield Wiper De-Icer timer and
operation will continue.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
To prevent possible engine damage while starting
at low temperatures, this vehicle will inhibit
engine cranking when the ambient temperature
is less than –22°F (–30°C) and the oil
temperature sensor reading indicates an engine
block heater has not been used. An
externally-powered electric engine block heater is
available as optional equipment or from an
authorized dealer. The message “Plug In Engine Heater” will be
displayed in the instrument cluster when the
ambient temperature is below 5°F (–15°C) at
the time the engine is shut off as a reminder to
avoid possible crank delays at the next cold start.
EXTENDED PARK STARTING
If the vehicle has not been started or driven for at
least 30 days, it is advisable to follow the
instructions below.
To start the engine, proceed as follows:
1. Briefly push the ignition button
2. If the engine does not start, wait five seconds
and let the starter cool down and then repeat
the starting procedure
3. If the engine does not start after eight attempts, let the starter cool down for at least
10 seconds, and then repeat the starting
procedure
If the problem persists, contact an authorized
dealer.

NOTE:
After prolonged vehicle inactivity, very difficult
starting, that can be noticed through rapid fatigue
of the starter, might also be due to a partially
drained battery

Ú
page 184.
IF ENGINE FAILS TO START
Starting the Engine with Key Fob Battery Run
Down or Drained
If the ignition does not respond when the button
is pushed, the key fob battery might be run down
or drained. Therefore, the system does not detect
the presence of the key fob in the vehicle, and will
display a dedicated message

Ú
page 22.
CAUTION!
Use of the recommended oil and adhering to
the prescribed oil change intervals is
important to prevent engine damage and
ensure satisfactory starting in cold conditions.
WARNING!
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid
into the throttle body air inlet opening in an
attempt to start the vehicle. This could result
in flash fire causing serious personal injury.
Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to
get it started. Vehicles equipped with an
automatic transmission cannot be started
this way. Unburned fuel could enter the
catalytic converter and once the engine has
started, ignite and damage the converter
and vehicle.
If the vehicle has a discharged battery,
booster cables may be used to obtain a start
from a booster battery or the battery in
another vehicle. This type of start can be
dangerous if done improperly

Ú
page 184.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not
continuously crank the engine for more than
25 seconds at a time. Wait 60 seconds before
trying again.
22_GU_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 82
STARTING AND OPERATING

83

AFTER STARTING — WARMING UP THE
E
NGINE
Proceed as follows:
Travel slowly, letting the engine run at a
reduced RPM, without accelerating suddenly.
It is recommended to wait until the digital
engine coolant temperature indicator starts to
rise for maximum performance.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
To stop the engine, proceed as follows:
1. Park the vehicle in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic.
2. Engage the PARK (P) mode.
3. With engine idling, push the ENGINE START/ STOP button on the steering wheel to STOP
the engine.

NOTE:
Do not leave the ignition in ACC position when the
engine is off.
To shut off the engine with vehicle speed greater
than 5 mph (8 km/h), you must push and hold
the ignition or push the ENGINE START/STOP
button three times consecutively within a few
seconds. The engine will shut down, and the
ignition will be placed in the ACC position.
With the keyless ignition system, it is possible to
exit the vehicle taking the key fob with you,
without the engine switching off. The vehicle will
inform about the absence of the key on board,
when the doors are closed. After the engine has stopped (cycling from the
ACC to the OFF position) the accessories are still
powered for about three minutes, or until a door
is opened.
When the ignition is in the OFF position, the
window switches remain active for three minutes.
Opening a front door will cancel this function.
After severe driving, idle the engine to allow the
temperature inside the engine compartment to
cool before shutting off the engine.
TURBOCHARGER COOL DOWN
It is recommended before switching the vehicle
off, to keep the engine idling for a few minutes so
that the turbocharger can be suitably lubricated.
This procedure is particularly recommended after
severe driving.
After a full load operation, keep the engine idling
for three to five minutes before switching it off.
This time allows the lubricating oil and the engine
coolant to eliminate the excessive heat from
combustion chamber, bearings, inner
components and turbocharger.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER —
IF EQUIPPED
The engine block heater warms the engine and
permits quicker starts in cold weather.
Connect the cord to a 110-115 Volt AC electrical
outlet with a grounded, three-wire extension cord.
For ambient temperatures below 0°F (-18°C),
the engine block heater is recommended. For
ambient temperatures below -20°F (-29°C), the
engine block heater is required.Follow the steps below to properly use the engine
block heater:
1. Locate the engine block heater cord (access
door on the passenger side wiper cowl).
2. Pull the cord to the front of the vehicle and plug it into a grounded, three-wire extension
cord.
3. After the vehicle is running, properly stow the cord away behind the access door on the
passenger side wiper cowl.

NOTE:

The engine block heater cord is a factory
installed option. If your vehicle is not equipped,
heater cords are available from an authorized
dealer.
The engine block heater will require 110 Volt
AC and 6.5 Amps to activate the heater
element.
The engine block heater must be plugged in at
least one hour to have a warming effect on the
engine and at least four hours to have a
warming effect when ambient temperatures
are below -20°F (-29°C).
WARNING!
Remember to disconnect the engine block
heater cord before driving. Damage to the
110-115 Volt electrical cord could cause
electrocution.
