9-20 Driving and Operating Starting Procedure (Keyless Access) 1. If the vehicle has the Keyless Access system, the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter must be in the vehicle. Put your foot on the brake pedal and press the ENGINE START/ STOP button. When the engine begins cranking, let go of the button. The idle speed will go down as your engine gets warm. Do not race the engine immediately after starting it. Operate the engine and transmission gently to allow the oil to warm up and lubricate all moving parts. If the transmitter is not in the vehicle or something is interfering with the transmitter, the Driver Information Center (DIC) will display a message. See Key and Lock Messages on page 5-29. If the battery in the RKE transmitter needs replacing, the DIC will display a message. The vehicle can still be driven. See Key and Lock Messages on page 5-29. The vehicle has a Computer-Controlled Cranking System. This feature assists in starting the engine and protects components. If the ENGINE START/STOP button is pressed, and then released when the engine begins cranking, the engine will continue cranking for a few seconds or until the vehicle starts. If the engine does not start and the button is pressed for many seconds, cranking will be stopped after 15 seconds to prevent cranking motor damage. To prevent gear damage, this system also prevents cranking if the engine is already running. Engine cranking can be stopped by pressing the ENGINE START/ STOP button a second time. Wait at least 15 seconds between each try, to allow the cranking motor to cool. When the engine starts, let go of the key and accelerator. If the vehicle starts briefly but then stops again, repeat the procedure. This clears the extra gasoline from the engine. Do not race the engine immediately after starting it. Operate the engine and transmission gently until the oil warms up and lubricates all moving parts.
