ignition is on and a device is plugged
in.

•

GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNINGS

Extended idling at high engine
speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and

exhaust system, creating the risk of fire or
other damage.

Do not park, idle or drive your vehicle
on dry grass or other dry ground
cover. The emission system heats up

the engine compartment and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire.

Do not start the vehicle in a closed
garage or in other enclosed areas.
Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always

open the garage door before you start the
vehicle.

If you smell exhaust fumes inside
your vehicle, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized dealer

immediately. Do not drive your vehicle if
you smell exhaust fumes.

If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately 5 miles
(8 kilometers) 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.

The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise.

When you start the vehicle, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal before and during
operation. Only use the accelerator pedal
when you have difficulty starting the
vehicle.

IGNITION SWITCH

E72128

battery to lose charge.

I (accessory) - Allows the electrical
accessories, such as the radio, to operate
while the engine is not running.

Note: Do not leave the ignition key in this
position for too long. This could cause your

operational and the warning lamps and
indicators illuminate.

KEYLESS STARTING

STARTING A GASOLINE
ENGINE

When the engine starts for the first time
on your drive, the idle speed increases, this
helps to warm up the engine. If the engine
idle speed does not slow down
automatically, have your vehicle checked
by an authorized dealer.

Before starting the vehicle, check the
following:
•

Make sure all occupants have fastened
their safety belts.

•

Make sure the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off.

•

Make sure the parking brake is on.

•

Move the transmission selector lever
to position P.
