Damage to the transmission may occur if the
following precautions are not observed:
•
Do not shift from REVERSE, PARK, or
NEUTRAL into any forward gear when the
engine is above idle speed.
•
Shift into PARK only after the vehicle has
come to a complete stop.

Using Fob With Integrated Key (Tip Start)
NOTE:
Normal starting of either a cold or a warm
engine is obtained without pumping or
pressing the accelerator pedal.
Do not press the accelerator. Use the Fob with
Integrated Key to briefly place the ignition in the
START position and release it as soon as the
starter engages. The starter motor will continue
to run, and it will disengage automatically when
the engine is running. If the engine fails to start,
the starter will disengage automatically in 10
seconds. If this occurs, place the ignition in the
LOCK/OFF position, wait 10 to 15 seconds,
then repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure.
