STARTING AND STOPPING THE
ENGINE – PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Extended idling at highengine speeds can produce very hightemperatures in the engine and exhaustsystem, creating the risk of fire or otherdamage.
WARNING: Do not park, idle or driveyour vehicle on dry grass or other dryground cover. The emission system heatsup the engine compartment and exhaustsystem, creating the risk of fire.
WARNING: Do not start the enginein a closed garage or in other enclosedareas. Exhaust fumes are toxic. Alwaysopen the garage door before you start theengine. Failure to follow this instructioncould result in personal injury or death.
WARNING: Do not use starting fluid,for example ether, in the air intake system.Such fluid could cause immediateexplosive damage to the engine andpossible personal injury.
WARNING: Exhaust leaks may resultin entry of harmful and potentially lethalfumes into the passenger compartment. Ifyou smell exhaust fumes inside yourvehicle, have your vehicle inspectedimmediately. Do not drive if you smellexhaust fumes.
The powertrain control system meets allCanadian interference-causing equipmentstandard requirements regulating theimpulse electrical field or radio noise.
If you stop your vehicle and leave the engineidling for long periods, we recommend thatyou do one of the following:
•Open the windows at least 1 in (2.5 cm).
•Set your climate control to outside air.
PUSH BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH
Switching the Ignition Off
When the ignition is on or in accessory mode,press the push button ignition switch oncewithout your foot on the brake pedal.
Switching the Ignition to AccessoryMode

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Always fully apply theparking brake and make sure you shift intopark (P). Failure to follow this instructioncould result in personal injury or death.
WARNING: Do not apply the brakepedal and accelerator pedalsimultaneously. Applying both pedalssimultaneously for more than a fewseconds will limit engine performance,which may result in difficulty maintainingspeed in traffic and could lead to seriousinjury.
WARNING: When your vehicle isstationary, keep the brake pedal fullypressed when shifting gears. Failure tofollow this instruction could result inpersonal injury, death or property damage.
Note:Do not use supplemental transmissionfluid additives, treatments, or cleaningagents. Failure to follow this instruction couldresult in vehicle damage not covered by thevehicle warranty.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
POSITIONS
PARK (P)
WARNING: Move the transmissionselector lever to park (P) only when yourvehicle is stationary.
This position locks the driveline. Come to acomplete stop before shifting into and outof park (P).
The electric parking brake could apply whenyou shift to park (P) without the brake pedalfully pressed. The electric parking brakeapplies when you shift to park (P) on largeslopes. The electric parking brake releaseswith the drive away release function. SeeElectric Parking Brake (page 223).
Note:A tone sounds if you attempt to exityour vehicle without the transmission in park(P).
Note:Your vehicle may not shift out of park(P) if the vehicle battery has run out ofcharge. See Jump Starting the Vehicle(page 316).
Note:Your vehicle may not shift out of park(P) if a fuse is blown. See Fuses (page 323).
Note:Your vehicle may not shift out of park(P) unless the key or remote control is insideyour vehicle.
Note:Your vehicle shifts into park (P) if youattempt to exit your vehicle without thetransmission in park (P). See How DoesAutomatic Return to Park (P) Work (page213).
Note:If you shift into park (P) without fullypressing the brake, the parking brake couldapply. If you shift into park (P) on a slope, theparking brake could apply. SeeAutomatically Releasing the ElectricParking Brake (page 224).
Note:You can start your vehicle in thisposition.

BRAKE PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Driving your vehicle withthe warning lamp on is dangerous. Asignificant decrease in brakingperformance may occur. It may take youlonger to stop your vehicle. Have yourvehicle checked as soon as possible.Driving extended distances with theparking brake engaged can cause brakefailure and the risk of personal injury.
Wet brakes result in reduced brakingefficiency. Gently press the brake pedal afew times when leaving a car wash or drivingfrom standing water to dry the brakes.
Note:Depending on applicable laws andregulations in the country for which yourvehicle was originally built, the stoplampscould flash during heavy braking. Followingthis the hazard warning flashers could alsoturn on when your vehicle comes to a stop.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEMLIMITATIONS
The anti-lock braking system does noteliminate the risk of crash when:
•You drive too closely to the vehicle infront of you.
•Your vehicle is hydroplaning.
•You take corners too fast.
•The road surface is poor.
Note: If the system activates, the brakepedal could pulse and travel further. Maintain pressure on the brake pedal.
BRAKE OVER ACCELERATOR
In the event the accelerator pedal becomesstuck or entrapped, apply steady and firmpressure to the brake pedal to slow thevehicle and reduce engine power. If youexperience this condition, apply the brakesand bring your vehicle to a safe stop. Move
the transmission to park (P), switch theengine off and apply the parking brake.Inspect the accelerator pedal for anyinterference. If none are found and thecondition persists, have your vehicle towedto the nearest authorized dealer.
LOCATING THE BRAKE FLUID
RESERVOIR
See Under Hood Overview (page 341).
CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID
WARNING: Do not use any fluid otherthan the recommended brake fluid as thiswill reduce brake efficiency. Use ofincorrect fluid could result in the loss ofvehicle control, serious personal injury ordeath.
