Why do I experience different driving
characteristics?
If you disconnect the battery, your
vehicle may exhibit some unusual
driving characteristics for
approximately 5 mi (8 km) after you
reconnect it. This is because the engine
management system must realign
itself with the engine. You can
disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.
Why can I not start the engine? If you cannot start the engine after 3
attempts, wait 10 seconds and do the
following:
1. Fully press the brake pedal or the clutch pedal.
Note: Make sure that the parking brake is
applied.
Note: Make sure that the transmission is in
park (P) or neutral (N).
2. Fully press the accelerator pedal and hold it there.
3. Press the push button ignition switch.
Note: The engine cranks for a short period
of time and then it stops.
4. Release the accelerator pedal. 5. Press the push button ignition switch. Why does the system not detect a
passive key?
If the system does not detect a passive
key and you are unable to start the
engine, insert the passive key into the
backup position and press the push
button ignition switch to start the
engine. See
Accessing the Passive
Key Backup Position (page 237).

2. Shift into park (P), or power your vehicle on and shift into drive (D) or
reverse (R).
USING PROGRESSIVE RANGE
SELECTION
Progressive range selection gives you the
ability to lock out gears from the automatic
shifting range. This could provide you with
an improved driving experience by reducing
transmission shifts, for example, in slippery
conditions or steep slopes.
With the transmission in drive (D), press
the - button to begin to switch the feature
on.
Press the - button again to continue locking
out higher gears. Beginning with the highest
gear, the instrument cluster will indicate
the current gear and highest gear available.
For example, press the - button twice to
lock out 10th and 9th gears. Note:
The instrument cluster will indicate
the current gear and highest gear available.
Press the + button to unlock gears to allow
the transmission to shift to higher gears.
Note: The transmission automatically
shifts within the gear range you select.
AUTOMATIC RETURN TO

WHAT IS AUTOMATIC RETURN TO
PARK (P)
Your vehicle shifts into park (P) if you
attempt to exit your vehicle without the
transmission in park (P).
HOW DOES AUTOMATIC RETURN
TO PARK (P) WORK

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: The electric power
steering system has diagnostic checks
that continuously monitor the system. If
a fault is detected, a message displays
in the information display. Stop your
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Switch the vehicle off. After at least 10
seconds, switch the vehicle on and
watch the information display for a
steering system warning message. If a
steering system warning message
returns, have the system checked as
soon as possible. WARNING:
If the system detects
an error, you may not feel a difference in
the steering, however a serious condition
may exist. Have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible. Failure to do so may
result in loss of steering control.
Adapt your speed and driving behavior
according to reduced steering assist.
Extreme continuous steering may increase
the effort to steer. This occurs to prevent
internal overheating and damage to the
steering system. If this occurs, you will not
lose the ability to steer your vehicle
manually nor will it cause damage to the
system. Normal steering and driving allows
the system to cool down and steering
assist returns to normal.
Note: There is no fluid reservoir to check or
fill. ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
ADAPTIVE STEERING - VEHICLES
WITH: ACTIVE STEERING
The adaptive steering system changes the
steering ratio with changes to vehicle
speed, optimizing the steering response in
all conditions. The system also changes
when you switch on the transmission
tow/haul feature. When you select the
tow/haul button, the adaptive steering
system reduces vehicle sensitivity to
steering inputs at higher vehicle speeds,
while maintaining the ease of parking and
maneuverability at low speeds.
Note:
The adaptive steering system
continuously monitors for faults. If the
system detects a fault, a message appears
in the information display. If a red warning
message displays, stop your vehicle as soon
as it is safe to do so. The message could
clear if the fault is no longer present. If an
adaptive steering system warning message
appears each time you start your vehicle,
have the system checked as soon as
possible.
Note: The system has a locking device. It
remains mechanically locked at a fixed
steering ratio with the lock engaged. You
may notice a click when you turn your
vehicle on or off.
Note: If your vehicle loses electrical power
or detects a fault when you are driving, the
system shuts down and you retain a normal
steering function with a fixed steering ratio.
During this time, it is possible that the
steering wheel could not be straight when
the vehicle is driving straight ahead. In
addition, you could notice that the steering
wheel angle required to steer your vehicle
could be different.
