CAUTION
•
When starting in cold weather, the auto-
matic transmission may shift up at
slightly higher engine speeds than nor-
mal until the automatic transmission
fluid reaches normal operating tem-
perature.
•
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 acceler-
ate until after you feel the transmission
engage. Accelerating immediately after
selecting a gear will cause harsh
engagement and premature transmis-
sion wear.
•
Selecting
P
or
N
when idling at a stand-
still for prolonged periods of time will
help prevent overheating of the auto-
matic transmission fluid.
Switching off the engine
With the engine running, press the
START/
STOP ENGINE
button.
If the gear selector is not in the
P
position or if
the vehicle is moving, press the button twice or
press and hold it in until the engine switches
off.

iliary battery's negative (–) terminal
and
to the ground point in your vehicle's engine
compartment (right engine mount at the
top, on the outer screw)
