STARTING AND DRIVING
WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from
the vehicle while driving or the vehicle is
being towed.
When starting in cold weather, the
automatic transmission may shift up at
slightly higher engine speeds than nor-
mal until the automatic transmission
fluid reaches normal operating tem-
perature.

WARNING
Always remove the remote key from
the passenger compartment when you
leave the vehicle and make sure the
ignition is in mode 0.
•
•
Do not race a cold engine immediately
after starting. This could prevent fluids
from properly lubricating vital compo-
nents in the engine before it has
reached the proper operating tempera-
ture.
Location of the backup reader in the tunnel console.
Always put the gear selector in P and
apply the parking brake before leaving
the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle
unsupervised while the engine is run-
ning.
When the remote key is placed in the
backup reader, make sure that no other
vehicle keys, metal objects or electronic
devices (e.g. cellular phones, tablets, lap-
tops or chargers) are in the backup reader.
Multiple vehicle keys close to each other in
the backup reader can disrupt their func-
tionality.
The engine should be idling when the
gear selector is moved. Never acceler-
ate until the gear is fully engaged.
Accelerating rapidly before a gear is
properly engaged could lead to harder
wear of components.
Always open the garage door fully and
make sure that ventilation is very good
before starting the engine in a garage.
The exhaust fumes produced by the
vehicle contain carbon monoxide,
which is invisible and odorless but very
toxic.
•
To help prevent the transmission oil
from overheating, select P or N when
idling at a standstill for prolonged peri-
ods of time.
If the engine has not responded after 3
attempts – wait for 3 minutes before star-
ting a new attempt. Starting capability
increases if the starter battery is given time
to recover.
