If the driver shifts into PARK while moving, the vehicle
may park.
Park will engage ONLY when vehicle speed is 1.2 mph
(1.9 km/h) or less.
The message “ Vehicle Speed is Too High to Shift to P”
will display in the instrument cluster display if vehicle
speed is above 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h). The gear position
indicator will blink continuously until the selector is
returned to the proper position, or the requested shift
can be completed.
WARNING!
If vehicle speed is not below 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h)
when the driver shifts into PARK, the transmission will
default to NEUTRAL until the vehicle speed drops
below 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) and the previously stated
condition is met, enabling AutoPark. A vehicle left in
the NEUTRAL position can roll. As an added precau-
tion, always apply the parking brake when exiting the
vehicle.
AFTER STARTING
To optimize energy efficiency, the vehicle will automati-
cally control engine operation.
TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE USING
ENGINE START/STOP BUTTON
1. Place the gear selector in PARK, then push and
release the ENGINE START/STOP button.
2. The ignition button indicator will return to the OFF
position.
3. If the gear selector is not in PARK, with vehicle
speed less than 5 mph (8 km/h), when the ENGINE
START/STOP button is pushed, the instrument clus-
ter display will display a “Vehicle Not In Park” mes-
sage, and the vehicle will remain running.
4. If the gear selector is not in PARK, with vehicle
speed greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), when the
ENGINE START/STOP button is pushed continuously
for at least two seconds (or three short pushes in a
row) the vehicle ignition mode will exit Drive Ready
mode and enter Accessory mode. Never leave a
vehicle out of the PARK position, or it could roll.
NOTE:
•
This vehicle is equipped with an automatic shutdown
feature. If the vehicle is left in a READY state (vehicle
running) with the gear selector in PARK for one hour,
the vehicle will automatically turn itself off.
•
The vehicle provides automatic notification, using a
three Horn Chirp Alert, cluster chiming, and a cluster
message “Key Fob Has Left The Vehicle” if the
vehicle was not turned OFF (still “Ready to Drive”)
and a valid key fob for the vehicle is not detected
within the passenger cabin, following the opening
and closing of any passenger compartment door
(requires all doors to be closed before the key fob
check will occur). These automatic alerts are to
remind the driver to turn off the vehicle before leav-
ing it, as well as, to let the driver know that the vehi-
cle's key fob may have been unintentionally
removed from the vehicle by an exiting passenger.
After providing the Horn Chirp Alert, additional auto
chirps will be inhibited until the gear selector has
been moved out of park or ignition cycled.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER — IF EQUIPPED
The engine block heater warms the engine and permits
quicker starts in cold weather.
Connect the cord to a 110-115 Volt AC electrical outlet
with a grounded, three-wire extension cord.
For ambient temperatures below 0°F (-18°C), the
engine block heater is recommended. For ambient tem-
peratures below -20°F (-29°C), the engine block heater
is required.
The engine block heater cord is routed under the hood,
behind to the passenger’s side headlamp. Follow these
steps to properly use the engine block heater:
1. Locate the engine block heater cord (behind the
passenger’s side headlamp).
2. Undo the hook-and-loop strap that secures the
heater cord in place.
3. Pull the cord to the front of the vehicle and plug it
into a grounded, three-wire extension cord.
4. After the vehicle is running, reattach the cord to the
hook-and-loop strap and properly stow it away
behind the passenger’s side headlamp.
NOTE:
•
The engine block heater cord is a factory installed
option. If your vehicle is not equipped, heater cords
are available from an authorized dealer.
•
The engine block heater will require 110 Volt AC and
6.5 Amps to activate the heater element.
•
The engine block heater must be plugged in at least
one hour to have an adequate warming effect on
the engine.
