Stopping the Engine When Your

Vehicle is Moving

WARNING

Switching off the engine when the

vehicle is still moving will result in a loss

of brake and steering assistance. The

steering will not lock, but higher effort will be

required. When the ignition is switched off,

some electrical circuits, including air bags,

warning lamps and indicators may also be

off. If the ignition was turned off accidentally,

you can shift into neutral (N) and re-start the

engine.

Press and hold the button for one second,

or press it three times within two seconds.

Move the transmission selector lever to

neutral (N) and use the brakes to bring

your vehicle to a safe stop. When your

vehicle has stopped, move the

transmission selector lever to park (P)

and switch the ignition off.

Apply the parking brake.

Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes

WARNING

If you smell exhaust fumes inside your

vehicle, have your vehicle checked by

your authorized dealer immediately. Do

not drive your vehicle if you smell exhaust

fumes. Carbon monoxide is present in

exhaust fumes. Take precautions to avoid its

dangerous effects.

Important Ventilating Information

If you stop your vehicle and then leave the

engine idling for long periods, we recommend

that you do one of the following:

•

Open the windows at least 1 inch (2.5

centimeters).

•

Set your climate control to outside air.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER

(If Equipped)

WARNINGS

Failure to follow engine block heater

instructions could result in property

damage or serious personal injury.

WARNINGS

Do not use your heater with

ungrounded electrical systems or

two-pronged adapters. There is a risk

of electrical shock.

Note:

The heater is most effective when

outdoor temperatures are below 0°F (-18°C).

The heater acts as a starting aid by warming

the engine coolant. This allows the climate

control system to respond quickly. The

equipment includes a heater element

(installed in the engine block) and a wire

harness. You can connect the system to a

grounded 120-volt AC electrical source.

We recommend that you do the following for

a safe and correct operation:

•

Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord

that is product certified by Underwriter’s

Laboratory (UL) or Canadian Standards

Association (CSA). This extension cord

must be suitable for use outdoors, in cold

temperatures, and be clearly marked

Suitable for Use with Outdoor Appliances.

Do not use an indoor extension cord

outdoors. This could result in an electric

shock or become a fire hazard.

•

Use as short an extension cord as

possible.
