mirror control knob is in the neutral position, and 
move the knob to the power folding position.

 WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in an outside 
convex mirror will look smaller and farther 
away than they really are. Relying too much on 
side convex mirrors could cause you to collide 
with another vehicle or other object. Use your 
inside mirror when judging the size or distance 
of a vehicle seen in a side convex mirror.

STARTING THE ENGINE
Before starting the engine, be sure to adjust the 
seat, the interior rearview mirror, door mirrors, 
and fasten the seat belt correctly.
Never press the accelerator pedal before starting 
the engine.
If necessary, messages indicating the starting 
procedure will be shown in the display.
STARTING PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:
1. Apply the Electric Park Brake (EPB) and place the gear selector in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
2. Fully press the brake pedal without touching the accelerator.
3. Briefly push the ignition button.
4. If the engine doesn't start within a few  seconds, you need to repeat the procedure.
If the problem persists, contact an authorized 
dealer.
REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM
This system uses the key fob to start the engine 
conveniently from outside the vehicle while still 
maintaining security. The system has a range of 
at least 300 feet (91 meters).
The remote starting system also activates the 
climate control, the heated seats (if equipped), 
and the heated steering wheel (if equipped), 
depending on temperatures outside and inside of 
the vehicle.
NOTE:
Obstructions between the vehicle and key fob 
may reduce this range.
How To Use Remote Start
All of the following conditions must be met before 
the engine will remote start:
Gear selector in PARK (P).
Doors closed.
Hood closed.
Liftgate closed.
Hazard switch off.
Brake switch inactive (brake pedal not 
pressed).
Battery at an acceptable charge level.
PANIC button not pushed.
 WARNING!
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the 
key fob from the vehicle and lock your 
vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or 
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle 
unattended 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 
children. A child could operate power 
windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals inside 
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat 
buildup may cause serious injury or death.
 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

 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.
