Note:

After starting the vehicle, the engine may stop running to

conserve fuel after it is warmed-up and the high voltage battery is
sufficiently charged.

Note:

If the vehicle does not start, put the gearshift lever into P (Park),

turn the ignition off, then attempt to start the vehicle again. If the
vehicle still does not start, it may require refueling, jump starting,
resetting of the fuel pump/high voltage shut-off switches or service. For
information on jump starting the vehicle and resetting the fuel
pump/high voltage shut-off switches, refer to the

Jump starting your

vehicle

section and the

Fuel pump/High voltage shut-off switches

section found in the

Roadside Emergencies

chapter.

Guarding against exhaust fumes

Carbon monoxide is present in exhaust fumes. Take precautions to avoid
its dangerous effects.

WARNING:

If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have

your dealer inspect your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you

smell exhaust fumes.

Important ventilating information

If the engine is idling while the vehicle is stopped for a long period of
time, open the windows at least one inch (2.5 cm) or adjust the heating
or air conditioning to bring in fresh air.

ENGINE BLOCK/HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY HEATER
(IF EQUIPPED)

An engine block/high voltage battery heater warms the engine coolant
and high voltage battery cells which aids in starting and allows the
heater/defroster system to respond quickly. If your vehicle is equipped
with this system, your equipment includes a heater element which is
installed in your engine block and a wire harness which allows the user
to connect the system to a grounded 120 volt a/c electrical source. The
block heater system is most effective when outdoor temperatures reach
below 0°F (-18°C).

WARNING:

Failure to follow engine block heater instructions

could result in property damage or physical harm.
