STARTING THE
ENGINE

Starting The Engine

Before starting the engine, adjust the
seat, the interior rear view mirrors, the
door mirrors, and fasten the seat belt
correctly.

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, and do not leave the ignition of a
vehicle equipped with Advanced Keyless
Entry in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. 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 build-up may cause serious injury or
death.

Never press the accelerator pedal for
starting the engine.

4. Place the start button in the ON

button to OFF mode and wait for
10-15 seconds before repeating the
starting procedure.

button to OFF mode and wait for
10-15 seconds before repeating the

Cold Weather Operation

Regarding Cold Start Disable
