RESTARTING THE ENGINE AFTERSTOPPING IT - VEHICLES WITH:PUSH BUTTON START
The system allows you to start the enginewithin 10 seconds of switching it off, evenif it does not detect a valid passive key.
Within 10 seconds of switching the engineoff, fully press the brake pedal and pressthe push button ignition switch. After 10seconds, you can no longer start the engineif the system does not detect a validpassive key.
When you start the engine, it remainsrunning until you press the push buttonignition switch, even if your vehicle doesnot detect a valid passive key. If you openand close a door when the engine isrunning, the system searches for a validpassive key.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (IF
EQUIPPED)
ENGINE BLOCK HEATERPRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Failure to follow engineblock heater instructions could result inproperty damage or serious personalinjury.
WARNING: Do not use your heaterwith ungrounded electrical systems ortwo-pronged adapters. There is a risk ofelectrical shock.
WARNING: Do not fully close thehood, or allow it to drop under its ownweight when using the engine blockheater. This could damage the powercable and may cause an electrical shortresulting in fire, injury and propertydamage.
We recommend that you do the followingfor a safe and correct operation:
•Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cordthat is product certified byUnderwriter’s Laboratory (UL) orCanadian Standards Association(CSA). This extension cord must besuitable for use outdoors, in coldtemperatures, and be clearly markedSuitable for Use with OutdoorAppliances. Do not use an indoorextension cord outdoors. This couldresult in an electric shock or become afire hazard.
•Use as short an extension cord aspossible.
•Do not use multiple extension cords.
•Make sure that when in operation, theextension cord plug and engine blockheater cord plug connections are freeand clear of water. This could cause anelectric shock or fire.
•If the engine block heater cord is underthe hood, do not remove the wiringfrom its original location. Do not closethe hood on the extension wiring.
•Park your vehicle in a clean area, clearof combustible materials.
•Firmly connect the engine block heatercord and the extension cord.
•Check the extension cord for heatanywhere when the system has beenoperating for approximately 30minutes.
•Unplug and properly stow the systembefore starting and driving your vehicle.The protective cover seals theterminals of the engine block heatercord plug when not in use.
•Check the engine block heater systemfor proper operation before winter.

HOW DOES THE ENGINE BLOCKHEATER WORK
The engine block heater warms the enginecoolant. This allows the climate controlsystem to quickly respond. The equipmentincludes a heater element installed in theengine block and a wire harness. You canconnect the system to a grounded 110 voltAC electrical source.
Note:The engine block heater is mosteffective when outdoor temperatures arebelow 0°F (-18°C).
USING THE ENGINE BLOCKHEATER
Make sure the receptacle terminals areclean and dry prior to use. Clean them witha dry cloth if necessary.
The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hoursof energy per hour of use. The system doesnot have a thermostat. It achievesmaximum temperature afterapproximately three hours of operation.Using the engine block heater longer thanthree hours does not improve systemperformance and unnecessarily useselectricity.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
STOPPING THE ENGINE WHENYOUR VEHICLE IS STATIONARY -VEHICLES WITHOUT: PUSHBUTTON START
1.Shift into park (P).
2.Apply the parking brake.
3.Wait until the engine reaches idlespeed.
4.Turn the key to position 0.

4.Press the push button ignition switch.
STOPPING THE ENGINE WHENYOUR VEHICLE IS MOVING -VEHICLES WITHOUT: PUSHBUTTON START
WARNING: Switching off theengine when your vehicle is still movingresults in a significant decrease inbraking assistance. Higher effort isrequired to apply the brakes and to stopyour vehicle. A significant decrease insteering assistance could also occur. Thesteering does not lock, but higher effort

•Hybrid driving: The vehicle is runningand in drive (D) or neutral (N). Theengine and the high voltage batteryprovide power to the wheels.
•Regenerative braking: The vehicle isrunning in drive (D) and is slowingdown. Power captured by theregenerative braking system is sentback to the high voltage battery.
Engine On Due To
The following conditions help explain whythe engine is on, and what you can do toallow all electric operation.
•Drive power: The engine is on due toaccelerator pedal pressure or speedcontrol activation. Reduce pressure onthe accelerator pedal or switch off thespeed control to return to full electricmode.
•High speed: The engine is on becausethe vehicle speed exceeds the level forfull electric operation. Reduce thespeed to return to electric operation.
•Heater setting: The engine is onbecause of the heater setting. Reduceor turn off the heater setting to returnto electric operation.
•Neutral gear: The engine is on becausethe vehicle is in neutral (N). Shift outof neutral gear to return to electricoperation.
•Engine cold: The engine is on becauseit is cold. The vehicle returns to electricoperation once the engine is sufficientlywarm.
•Battery charging: The engine is on tocharge the high voltage battery. Thevehicle returns to electric operationonce the battery is charged.
•Low gear: The engine is on because thevehicle is in low gear. Shift out of lowgear to return to electric operation.
•Normal operation: The engine is on tooptimize vehicle operation. The vehiclereturns to electric operation whenpossible.
•Engine braking active: The engine is onto provide increased powertrainbraking. This can occur when you turnon grade assist, when speed control ison or when driving with your foot offthe accelerator pedal. Turning offgrade assist or speed control mayallow the vehicle to return to electricoperation.
•Battery temperature: The engine is ondue to a high or low high voltagebattery temperature. This is a normaloperating condition. The vehicle returnsto electric operation when possible.
•Drive mode: The engine is on due to thedrive mode selection. Select anappropriate drive mode for electric onlyoperation.
ECO IDLE
WHAT IS ECO IDLE
Eco idle reduces fuel consumption whenyour vehicle is in park (P) and idling for longperiods of time. Eco idle more efficientlyextends the use of features that arepowered by the high voltage battery whenyour vehicle is stationary.
HOW DOES ECO IDLE WORK
Eco idle increases the engine idle speedabove normal for a short period of time toefficiently charge the high voltage battery.
Note:Engine sound and vibration could bemore noticeable.
