Starting and Stopping the Engine

GENERAL INFORMATION

IGNITION SWITCH

WARNING: Extended idling at high

engine speeds can produce very high

temperatures in the engine and exhaust

system, creating the risk of fire or other

damage.

WARNING: Do not park, idle or

drive your vehicle on dry grass or other

dry ground cover. The emission system

heats up the engine compartment and

exhaust system, creating the risk of fire.

WARNING: Do not start the engine

in a closed garage or in other enclosed

areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic.

Always open the garage door before you

start the engine.

fumes inside your vehicle, have your

vehicle inspected immediately. Do not

The passive key frequencies are

jammed.

•

The key battery has no charge.

If you are unable to start the engine, do the

EQUIPPED)

WARNING: Failure to follow engine

block heater instructions could result in

property damage or serious personal

injury.

WARNING: Do not switch the

engine off when it is running at high

speed. If you do, the turbocharger will

continue running after the engine oil

pressure has dropped to zero. This will

lead to premature turbocharger bearing

wear.

WARNING: Do not use your heater

with ungrounded electrical systems or

two-pronged adapters. There is a risk of

electrical shock.

Release the accelerator pedal. Wait until

the engine has reached idle speed and then

switch it off.

The heater warms the engine coolant. This

allows the climate control system to

quickly respond. The equipment includes

a heater element installed in the engine

block and a wire harness. You can connect

the system to a grounded 220-240 volt AC

electrical source.

Note: The heater is most effective when

the ambient temperature is below -18°C

(0°F).
