STARTING AND OPERATING 81
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
To ensure reliable starting under extreme cold
conditions an externally powered electric block
heater (if equipped) is required for the 1.3L Turbo
engine below -20°F (-29°C). To prevent possible engine damage while starting
at low


temperatures, this vehicle will inhibit engine
cranking when the ambient temperature is less
than -20°F (-29°C) for the 1.3L Turbo engine, and
the oil temperature sensor reading indicates an
engine block heater has not been used. The
message “plug in engine heater” will be displayed
in the instrument cluster when the ambient
temperature is below -4°F (-20°C) at the time the
engine is shut off as a reminder to avoid possible
crank delays at the next cold start.
EXTENDED PARK STARTING
NOTE:
Extended Park condition occurs when the vehicle
has n ot
been started or driven for at least 30 days.

1. Install a battery charger or jumper cables to the ba
ttery to ensure a full battery charge
during the crank cycle.

2. Press the START/STOP ignition button and relea

se it when the engine starts.
3. If the engine fails to start within 10 seconds, place
the ignition in the OFF position, wait
10 to 15 seconds to allow the starter to cool,
t hen r

epeat the Extended Park Starting
procedure.
4. If the engine fails to start after eight attempts, allow

the starter to cool for at least
10 minutes, then repeat the procedure.
AFTER STARTING — WARMING UP THE
E
NGINE
Proceed as follows:
Travel slowly, letting the engine run at a reduced
RPM, without accelerating suddenly.
It is recommended to wait until the engine
coolant temperature gauge starts to rise for
maximum performance.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
To shut off the engine with a vehicle speed greater
than 5 mph (8 km/h), you must push and hold the
ignit i
on or push the START/STOP button three
times consecutively within a few seconds. The
engine will shut down, and the ignition will be
placed in the RUN position.
Vehicles Equipped With Electronic Key
(Keyless Enter ‘n Go™)
Turning off the car (cycle the ignition from the RUN
p ositi on

to the OFF position), the power supply to
the accessories are maintained for a period of
three minutes.
Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to
get it started. Vehicles equipped with an auto -
matic transmission cannot be started this
w ay. U

nburned 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 Ú page 278.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not
continuously crank the engine for more than

10 seconds at a time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds
before
trying again.
WARNING!CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not crank
continuously for more than 10 seconds at a
time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again.

82 STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE:
If the vehicle fails to shut off using the ignition
Ú page 64.
Opening the driver side door with the ignition in
R UN w i

ll sound a short chime that reminds the
driver to place the ignition to OFF.
When the ignition is in the OFF position, the
window

switches remain active for three minutes.
Opening a front door will cancel this function.
After severe driving, idle the engine to allow the
tempe r

ature inside the engine compartment to
cool before shutting off the engine.
TURBOCHARGER “COOL DOWN” —
I
F EQUIPPED
This vehicle is equipped with an after-run pump to
cool the turbocharger after the engine is shut off.
Depending on the type of driving and the amount
of cargo, the pump will run for up to 10 minutes
after

the engine has been shut off to circulate
coolant through the turbocharger. Although the
pump is rubber-mounted for quiet operation, it is
normal to hear it running during this time.
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the engine
and drivetrain (transmission and axle) in your
vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles
(500 km

). After the initial 60 miles (100 km),
s p e
ed
s
up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are
desir a
ble.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within
the li
mits of local traffic laws contributes to a good
break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low
gear can be detrimental and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory
is a h
igh-quality energy conserving type lubricant.
Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated
climate conditions under which vehicle operations
will occur. For the recommended viscosity and
quality grades Ú page 345.
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its first
few t h
ousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This
should be considered a normal part of the break-in
and not interpreted as a problem.
ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE (EPB)
Your vehicle is equipped with an EPB that offers
simple operation, and some additional features
that make the parking brake more convenient and
useful.
The parking brake is primarily intended to prevent
the ve
hicle from rolling while parked. Before
leaving the vehicle, make sure that the parking
brake is applied. Also, be certain to leave the
transmission in PARK.
The EPB switch is located in the center console.
You can engage the EPB in two ways:
Manually, by applying the parking brake switch.
Automatically, by enabling the Auto Park Brake
feature in the customer programmable features
section of the Uconnect settings or in “Safe
Hold” conditions.CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral
Oil in the engine or damage may result.

SAFETY 267
PERIODIC SAFETY CHECKS YOU SHOULD
M
AKE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear and uneven
wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or
other objects lodged in the tread or sidewall.
Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks. Inspect
sidewalls for cuts, cracks, and bulges. Check the
lug nuts/bolt torque for tightness. Check the tires
(including spare) for proper cold inflation pressure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation of brake
lights and exterior lights while you work the
controls. Check turn signal and high beam
indicator lights on the instrument panel.
Door Latches
Check for proper closing, latching, and locking.
Fluid Leaks
Check area under the vehicle after overnight
parking for fuel, coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks.
Also, if gasoline fumes are detected or if fuel or
brake fluid leaks are suspected, the cause should
be located and corrected immediately.
EXHAUST GAS
The best protection against carbon monoxide entry
into the vehicle body is a properly maintained
engine exhaust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the
exhau s

t system, when exhaust fumes can be
detected inside the vehicle, or when the underside
or rear of the vehicle is damaged, have an
authorized dealer inspect the complete exhaust system and adjacent body areas for broken,
damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts.
Open seams or loose connections could permit
exhaust fumes to seep into the passenger
compartment. In addition, inspect the exhaust
system each time the vehicle is raised for
lubrication or oil change. Replace as required.
CARBON MONOXIDE WARNINGS
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain
carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and
odorless. Breathing it can make you
unconscious and can eventually poison you. To
avoid breathing (CO), follow these safety tips:
Do not run the engine in a closed garage or in
confined areas any longer than needed to
move your vehicle in or out of the area.
If you are required to drive with the trunk/lift
-
gate/rear doors open, make sure that all
window s
are closed and the climate control
BLOWER switch is set at high speed. DO NOT
use the recirculation mode.
If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with
the engine running, adjust your heating or
cooling controls to force outside air into the
vehicle. Set the blower at high speed.
WARNING!
Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is
deadly. Follow the precautions below to prevent
carbon monoxide poisoning:

Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain
carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas,
which can kill. Never run the engine in a closed
area, such as a garage, and never sit in a
parked vehicle with the engine running for an
extended period. If the vehicle is stopped in an
open area with the engine running for more
than a short period, adjust the ventilation
system to force fresh, outside air into the
vehicle.

Guard against carbon monoxide with proper
maintenance. Have the exhaust system
inspected every time the vehicle is raised.
Have any abnormal conditions repaired
promptly. Until repaired, drive with all side
windows fully open.
