(Continued)

When the hood is open with the ignition in RUN,
post-START mode

When AutoStick Mode is in use

When the engine is temporarily operating in
Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode (e.g. if the system
detects a stale fuel or aged oil condition after
a long period without combustion engine
operation)

When the vehicle is started in very cold ambient
temperatures

When the vehicle is in a lower ambient tempera-
ture and may need to support passenger
compartment heating
NOTE:

In case the ignition switch does not change with
the push of the START/STOP ignition button, the
key fob may have a low or depleted battery. In
this situation, a backup method can be used to
operate the ignition switch. Put the nose side of
the key fob (side opposite of the emergency key)
against the START/STOP ignition button and
push to operate the ignition switch. Replace-
ment of the key fob battery is recommended.
Depleted Key Fob Battery Procedure

In extreme climates (hot or cold environments),
the vehicle will need to be plugged in prior to
starting the vehicle, or the vehicle may not start.
NOTE:
If the brake is pressed and the ignition is placed in
the RUN position with a charging cable connected
to the vehicle, the instrument cluster display will
not show the READY state. When the charging
cable is unplugged from the vehicle, the vehicle
will go into the READY state. If the vehicle is not
shifted out of PARK 30 minutes after being
unplugged, the vehicle will disable the READY
state. After an additional 30 minutes with no
change in ignition status, the ignition will turn
off and the vehicle will power down.
For more information on normal starting, see

page 130.
WARNING!

When exiting the vehicle, always place the
ignition in the OFF position, remove the key
fob from the vehicle, and lock your vehicle.

Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle.

Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended
is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child
or others could be seriously or fatally injured.
Children should be warned not to touch the
parking brake, brake pedal or the gear
selector.

Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or
in a location accessible to children, and do not
leave the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition in the
ON/RUN position. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

Do not leave children or animals inside parked
vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat buildup
may cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation for thieves.
Always remove key fob from the vehicle and lock
all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
