8-20 Driving and Operating
Power to the windows or sunroof
will work up to 10 minutes or until
any door is opened. For an
additional 10 minutes of operation,
close all the doors and turn the key
to ON/RUN and then back to
LOCK/OFF.
Starting the Engine
Place the transmission in the
proper gear.
If the vehicle has the keyless
access system, the keyless access
transmitter must be authenticated in
order for the ignition control knob to
turn. The transmitter can be
authenticated either by putting your
foot on the brake pedal or by
pushing the ignition control knob in.
Automatic Transmission
Move the shift lever to P (Park) or
N (Neutral). The engine will not start
in any other position. To restart the
engine when the vehicle is already
moving, use N (Neutral) only.
If the vehicle has the keyless
access system, your foot must be
on the brake pedal to start the
engine. To rotate the ignition control
knob, put your foot on the brake
pedal and turn the ignition control
knob to the START position. If the
ignition control knob does not turn,
try pushing the knob in and turning
again. When the engine begins
cranking, let go of the ignition
control knob, it will return to the ON/
RUN position.
If the transmitter is not in the vehicle
or something is interfering with the
transmitter, the Driver Information
Center (DIC) will display Electronic
Key Not Detected. See Driver
Information Center (DIC)
on
page 4‑31
for more information.
If the battery in the keyless access
transmitter needs replacing, the DIC
displays Replace Battery In Remote
Key. The vehicle can still be driven.
See “Battery Replacement” under
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation (Key Access)
on
page 1‑5
or Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) System Operation (Keyless
Access)
on page 1‑7
for more
information.
Notice: Do not try to shift to
P (Park) if the vehicle is moving.
If you do, you could damage the
transmission. Shift to P (Park)
only when the vehicle is stopped.
Manual Transmission
The shift lever should be in neutral
position and the parking brake
engaged. Hold the clutch pedal
down to the floor and start the
engine. The vehicle will not start if
the clutch pedal is not all the
way down.
