Starting and operating

lights have turned off after the engine has
started. The fuel injection system auto-
matically lowers the idle speed as the
engine warms up.

While the engine is warming up, make
sure that the selector lever is at the

“P” or

“N” position and that the parking brake is
applied.

Stopping the engine

WARNING

Do not stop the engine when the
vehicle is moving. This will cause
loss of power to the power steering
and the brake booster, making steer-
ing and braking more difficult. It
could also result in accidental acti-
vation of the

“LOCK” position on the

ignition switch, causing the steering
wheel to lock.

The ignition switch should be turned off
only when the vehicle is stopped and the
engine is idling.

Remote engine start system
(dealer option)

WARNING

. Do not start the engine using the

remote start system in an en-
closed environment (e.g. closed
garage). Prolonged operation of
a motor vehicle in an enclosed
environment can cause a harmful
build-up of Carbon Monoxide.
Carbon Monoxide is harmful to
your health. Exposure to high
levels of Carbon Monoxide can
cause headaches, dizziness or in
extreme cases unconsciousness
and/or death.

. Before performing any servicing

of the vehicle, temporarily place
the remote engine start system in
service mode to prevent the
system from unexpectedly start-
ing the engine.
