Notice: Cranking the engine for long periods of time, by pressing the START button immediately after cranking has ended, can overheat and damage the cranking motor, and drain the battery. Wait at least 15 seconds between each try, to allow the cranking motor to cool down. Your vehicle has a Computer-Controlled Cranking System. This feature assists in starting the engine and protects components. Once cranking has been initiated, the engine continues cranking for a few seconds or until the vehicle starts. If the engine does not start, cranking automatically stops after 15 seconds to prevent cranking motor damage. To prevent gear damage, this system also prevents cranking if the engine is already running. Notice: Your engine is designed to work with the electronics in your vehicle. If you add electrical parts or accessories, you could change the way the engine operates. Before adding electrical equipment, check with your dealer. If you do not, your engine might not perform properly. Any resulting damage would not be covered by your vehicle's warranty. Stopping Your Engine If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, move the shift lever to PARK (P) and press the Acc. (Off/Accessory) button located on the instrument panel. If the shift lever is not in PARK (P), the engine shuts off and the vehicle goes into the Accessory Mode. The DIC displays "SHIFT TO PARK". Once the shifter is moved to PARK (P), the vehicle turns off. If your vehicle has a manual transmission, it is recommended that you move the shift lever to REVERSE (R) and set the parking brake after you turn off the engine by pressing the Acc. (Off/Accessory) button. If the keyless access transmitter is not detected inside the vehicle when it is turned to off, the DIC displays NO FOB - OFF OR RUN?.
