STARTING AND DRIVING
367
WARNING
•
Always remove the remote key from the
passenger compartment when leaving the
vehicle and ensure that the ignition in
mode
0
.
•
On vehicles with the optional Passive
Entry, never remove the remote key from
the vehicle while it is being driven or
towed.
•
Always place the gear selector in Park
and apply the parking brake before leav-
ing the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle
unattended with the engine running.
•
Always open garage doors fully before
starting the engine inside a garage to
ensure adequate ventilation. The exhaust
gases contain carbon monoxide, which is
invisible and odorless but very poisonous.
NOTE
After a cold start, idle speed may be noticea-
bly higher than normal for a short period. This
is done to help bring components in the
emission control system to their normal oper-
ating temperature as quickly as possible,
which enables them to control emissions and
help reduce the vehicle's impact on the envi-
ronment.
CAUTION
•
When starting in cold weather, the auto-
matic 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 engage-
ment and premature transmission wear.
•
Selecting
P
or
N
when idling at a stand-
still for prolonged periods of time will help
prevent overheating of the automatic
transmission fluid.
