Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust the inside and outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt, and if present, instruct all other occupants to buckle their seat belts.
WARNING!
The gear selector must be in the NEUTRAL (N) or PARK (P) position before you can start the engine. Apply the brakes before shifting into any driving gear.
CAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may occur if the following precautions are not observed:
KEYLESS ENTER ‘N GO™ — IGNITION
This feature allows the driver to operate the ignition switch with the push of a button, as long as the Remote Start/Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ key fob is in the passenger compartment.
To Turn On The Engine Using The ENGINE START/STOP Button
To Turn Off The Engine Using The ENGINE START/STOP Button
NOTE:
If the gear selector is not in PARK, and the ENGINE START/STOP button is pushed once with the vehicle speed below 5 mph (8 km/h), the engine will shut off and the ignition will remain in the ON/RUN position. If vehicle speed drops below 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h), the vehicle may AutoPark page 123.
ENGINE START/STOP Button Functions — With Driver’s Foot OFF The Brake Pedal (In PARK Or NEUTRAL Position)
The ENGINE START/STOP button operates similar to an ignition switch. It has three positions: OFF, ON/RUN, and START. To change the ignition positions without starting the vehicle and use the accessories, follow these directions:
NOTE:
Only press one pedal at a time while driving the vehicle. Torque performance of the vehicle could be reduced if both pedals are pressed at the same time. If pressure is detected on both pedals simultaneously, a warning message will display in the instrument cluster page 95.
AutoPark is a supplemental feature to assist in placing the vehicle in PARK (P) should the situations on the following pages occur. It is a backup system and should not be relied upon as the primary method by which the driver shifts the vehicle into PARK.
The conditions under which AutoPark will engage are outlined on the following pages.
WARNING!
If the vehicle is not in PARK and the driver turns off the engine, the vehicle may AutoPark.
AutoPark will engage when all of these conditions are met:
NOTE:
For Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ equipped vehicles, the engine will turn off and the ignition switch will change to the ON/RUN position. After 30 minutes the ignition switches to OFF automatically, unless the driver turns the ignition switch OFF.
If the vehicle is not in PARK and the driver exits the vehicle with the engine running, the vehicle may AutoPark.
AutoPark will engage when all of these conditions are met:
The message “AutoPark Engaged Shift to P then Shift to Gear” will display in the instrument cluster.
NOTE:
In some cases the ParkSense graphic will be displayed in the instrument cluster. In these cases, the gear selector must be returned to “P” to select desired gear.
If the driver shifts into PARK while moving, the vehicle may AutoPark.
AutoPark will engage ONLY when vehicle speed is 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) or less.
The message “Vehicle Speed is Too High to Shift to P” will be displayed in the instrument cluster if vehicle speed is above 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h).
WARNING!
If vehicle speed is above 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h), the transmission will default to NEUTRAL until the vehicle speed drops below 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h). A vehicle left in the NEUTRAL position can roll. As an added precaution, always apply the parking brake when exiting the vehicle.
4WD LOW — If Equipped
AutoPark will be disabled when operating the vehicle in 4WD LOW.
The message “AutoPark Disabled” will be displayed in the instrument cluster.
Additional customer warnings will be given when both of these conditions are met:
The message “AutoPark Not Engaged” will be displayed in the instrument cluster. A warning chime will continue until you shift the vehicle into PARK or the driver’s door is closed.
ALWAYS DO A VISUAL CHECK that your vehicle is in PARK by looking for the “P” in the instrument cluster display and on the gear selector. As an added precaution, always apply the parking brake when exiting the vehicle.
If the engine fails to start after you have followed the “Normal Starting” procedure and has not experienced an extended park condition (i.e., parked for more than 30 days), it may be flooded. Push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there while the engine is cranking. This should clear any excess fuel in case the engine is flooded. The starter motor will engage automatically, run for 10 seconds, and then disengage. Once this occurs, release the accelerator pedal and brake pedal, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure.
WARNING!
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not continuously crank the engine for more than 10 seconds at a time. Wait for 10 to 15 seconds before trying again.
To ensure reliability starting at these temperatures, the use of an externally powered electric engine block heater (available from an authorized dealer) is recommended.
The idle speed is controlled automatically, and it will decrease as the engine warms up.
