03 Your driving environment Starting the engine CAUTION Switching off the engine With the engine running, press the START/ STOP ENGINE button. If the gear selector is not in the P position or if the vehicle is moving, press the button twice or press and hold it in until the engine switches off. To jump start your vehicle: 1. Switch off the ignition (set the ignition to mode 0, see page 77). 2. First connect the red jumper cable to the auxiliary battery's positive (+) terminal . 3. Fold back the cover over the positive (+) , terminal on your vehicle's battery marked with a "+" sign, located under a folding cover. 4. Connect the black jumper cable to the auxand iliary battery's negative (-) terminal to the ground point in your vehicle's engine compartment (right engine mount at the top, on the outer screw) . 5. Start the engine in the assisting vehicle, then start the engine in the vehicle with dead battery. G021347 • When starting in cold weather, the automatic transmission may shift up at slightly higher engine speeds than normal until the automatic transmission fluid reaches normal operating temperature. Do not race a cold engine immediately after starting. Oil flow may not reach some lubrication points fast enough to prevent engine damage. The engine should be idling when you move the gear selector. Never accelerate until after you feel the transmission engage. Accelerating immediately after selecting a gear will cause harsh engagement and premature transmission wear. Selecting P or N when idling at a standstill for prolonged periods of time will help prevent overheating of the automatic transmission fluid. 03 • Jump starting • • Connecting the jumper cables Follow these instructions to jump start your vehicle's dead battery or to jump start another vehicle's dead battery using your vehicle. If the 12-volt auxiliary battery to be used is in another vehicle, check that the vehicles are not touching to prevent premature completion of a circuit. Be sure to follow jump starting instructions provided for the other vehicle. 6. After the engine has started, first remove the negative (-) terminal jumper cable (black). Then remove the positive (+) terminal jumper cable (red). `` 105

some lubrication points fast enough to
prevent engine damage.
The engine should be idling when you

G021347
Connecting the jumper cables
Follow these instructions to jump start your
vehicle's dead battery or to jump start another
vehicle's dead battery using your vehicle. If the
12-volt auxiliary battery to be used is in another
vehicle, check that the vehicles are not touch-
ing to prevent premature completion of a cir-
cuit. Be sure to follow jump starting instruc-
tions provided for the other vehicle.
To jump start your vehicle:
1.
Switch off the ignition (set the ignition to
mode
0
, see page 77).
2.
First connect the red jumper cable to the
auxiliary battery's positive (+) terminal
.
3.
Fold back the cover over the positive (+)
terminal on your vehicle's battery
,
marked with a "+" sign, located under a
folding cover.
4.
Connect the black jumper cable to the aux-
iliary battery's negative (–) terminal
and
to the ground point in your vehicle's engine
compartment (right engine mount at the
top, on the outer screw)
.
5.
Start the engine in the assisting vehicle,
then start the engine in the vehicle with
dead battery.
6.
After the engine has started, first remove
the negative (–) terminal jumper cable
(black). Then remove the positive (+) termi-
nal jumper cable (red).
