Cell phone chargers can interfere with the operation of the Keyless Access System. Battery chargers should not be plugged in when starting or turning off the engine. To start your vehicle, do the following: 1. For an automatic transmission, with your foot on the brake pedal, press the START button located on the instrument panel. For a manual transmission, while pressing in the clutch, press the START button. If there is not a keyless access transmitter in the vehicle or if there is something causing interference with it, the DIC will display NO FOBS DETECTED. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 212 for more information. 2. When the engine begins cranking, let go of the button and the engine cranks automatically until it starts. If the battery in the keyless access transmitter is weak, the DIC displays FOB BATTERY LOW. You can still drive the vehicle. See "Battery Replacement" under Keyless Access System Operation on page 74 for more information. If the fob battery is dead, you need to insert the fob into the fob slot to enable engine starting. See "No Fobs Detected" under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 212. 3. 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. 4. If the engine does not start and no DIC message is displayed, wait 15 seconds before trying again to let the cranking motor cool down. If the engine does not start after 5-10 seconds, especially in very cold weather (below 0°F or −18°C), it could be flooded with too much gasoline. Try pushing the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor while cranking for up to 15 seconds maximum. Wait at least 15 seconds between each try, to allow the cranking motor to cool down. When the engine starts, let go of the accelerator. If the vehicle starts briefly but then stops again, do the same thing. This clears the extra gasoline from the engine. 92
