STARTING

Positions of the ignition (if equipped)

If your vehicle is equipped with a push button start system, refer to

Push button start system in this section for ignition modes.

1. Off— locks the gearshift lever

and allows key removal. This

position also shuts the engine and

all electrical accessories off. Note:

In order to switch off the engine

while the vehicle is in motion, shift

to neutral and use the brakes to

bring the vehicle to a safe stop.

After the vehicle has stopped, turn the engine off and shift into park.

Then, turn the key to the accessory or off position.

2. Accessory— allows the electrical accessories such as the radio to

operate while the engine is not running.

3. On— all electrical circuits operational. Warning lights illuminated. Key

position when driving.

4. Start— cranks the engine. Release the key as soon as the engine

starts.

Note: Do not store the key in the ignition after the vehicle is turned off

and you have left the vehicle. This could cause a drain on the battery.

Starting your vehicle

This system meets all Canadian interference-causing equipment standard

requirements regulating the impulse electrical field strength of radio

noise.

Don’t press the accelerator before or during starting. Only use the

accelerator when you have difficulty starting the engine. For more

information on starting the vehicle, refer to Starting the engine in this

chapter.

To avoid potential transmission damage at extremely cold temperatures

(below -20°F [-30°C]), it is recommended that the vehicle be warmed up

to normal operating temperature before driving at highway speeds above

50 mph (80 km/h). Normal operating temperature is normally reached

after 10 minutes of moderate driving or idling.
