Steering Column Lock
The vehicle has an electric steering
column lock. The lock is activated
when the vehicle is turned off and
either front door is opened. A sound
may be heard as the lock actuates
or releases.
When starting the engine, the
steering column lock may not
release if the wheels are turned off
centre. If this happens, the vehicle
may not start. Move the steering
wheel from left to right while
attempting to start the vehicle. If this
does not work, the vehicle may
need service.
Starting the Engine
1. Apply the electric parking
brake. Release it only after
starting the engine and you are
ready to drive off.
2. Place the shift lever in P (Park)
or N (Neutral). The engine will
not start if the shift lever is in
any other position.
Caution
Do not try to shift to P (Park) if
the vehicle is moving. If you do,
you could damage the
transmission. Shift to P (Park)
only when the vehicle is stopped.

vehicle, press the brake pedal
4. Press the ENGINE START/
STOP button. When the engine
begins cranking, release the
button.
Once the engine starts, the idle
speed will go down as the
engine gets warm. Do not race
the engine immediately after
starting it.
If the RKE transmitter is not in the
vehicle, if there is interference, or if
the RKE battery is low, the Driver
Information Centre (DIC) will display
a message. See
.
If the engine does not start after
10 seconds of cranking, wait
one minute for the starter motor to
cool, then try the same steps again.
Caution
Cranking the engine for long
periods of time by pressing the
ENGINE START/STOP button
immediately after cranking has
ended, can overheat and damage
the starter motor and drain the
battery.
Wait at least 1 minute between
each try to let the starter motor
cool down.
When the engine is very cold, let it
run for a few minutes before driving.
This lets oil pressure build up. The
engine may sound louder when it
is cold.
