WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or other
physical condition must exercise care when
using the seat heater. It may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if used
for long periods of time.
Do not place anything on the seat or
seatback that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the
seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that
has been overheated could cause serious
burns due to the increased surface
temperature of the seat.

STARTING THE ENGINE
Before starting the engine, be sure to adjust the
seat, the interior rearview mirror, the 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 and set the gear selector to 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.
Trunk closed.
Hazard switch off.
Brake switch inactive (brake pedal not
pressed).
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

Ú
page 177. 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.
