Page: 77 / 358

Notice: Holding the button in for longer than
15 seconds at a time will cause the battery to be
drained much sooner. This can also cause damage
to the starter motor. Wait 15 seconds between
each try to avoid draining your vehicle’s battery or
damaging the starter.
2. If the engine doesn’t start and no DIC message is
displayed, wait 15 seconds before trying again.
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.
Stopping Your Engine
Move the shift lever to PARK (P) and press the
OFF/ACCESSORY button. If the shifter is not in
PARK (P), the vehicle will go into ACCESSORY mode
and the DIC will display SHIFT TO PARK. Once the
shifter is moved to PARK (P), the vehicle will turn off.
If the keyless access transmitter is not detected
while going to off, the DIC will display NO FOB, OFF
OR RUN.
See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-59 for
more information.
Engine Coolant Heater
Your vehicle may be equipped with an engine coolant
heater.
In very cold weather, 0°F (
−
18°C) or colder, the engine
coolant heater can help. You’ll get easier starting
and better fuel economy during engine warm-up.
Usually, the coolant heater should be plugged in a
minimum of four hours prior to starting your vehicle. At
temperatures above 32°F (0°C), use of the coolant
heater is not required.
