STARTING PROCEDURES

Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, both inside

and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts.
The starter is allowed to crank for up to 30-second

intervals. Waiting a few minutes between such intervals

will protect the starter from overheating.

WARNING!

When leaving the vehicle, always make sure the

ignition is in the OFF position, remove the Key Fob
from the vehicle, and lock the vehicle.

WARNING!

(Continued)

Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with

access to an unlocked vehicle. Leaving children 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 trans-
mission 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
Keyless Enter-N-Go™) in the ACC or ON/RUN
mode. A child could operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle.

NOTE:

Engine start up in very low ambient temperature

could result in evident white smoke. This condition will

disappear as the engine warms up.
