Starting and operating
While the engine is warming up, make
sure that the select lever is at the “P” or
“N” position and that the parking brake is
applied.
CAUTION
If you need to restart the engine
while the vehicle is moving, shift the
select lever into the “N” position. Do
not attempt to place the select lever
of a moving vehicle into the “P”
position.
Stopping the engine
The ignition switch should be turned off
only when the vehicle is stopped and the
engine is idling.
WARNING
Do not stop the engine when the
vehicle is moving. This will cause
loss of power to the power steering
and the brake booster, making steering and braking more difficult. It
could also result in accidental activation of the steering lock, causing
the steering wheel to lock.

WARNING
. Do not remote start a vehicle in
an enclosed environment (e.g., in
a closed garage). Prolonged operation of a motor vehicle in an
enclosed environment can cause
a harmful build-up of Carbon
Monoxide. Carbon Monoxide is
harmful to your health. Exposure
to high levels of Carbon Monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness or in extreme cases unconsciousness and/or death.
. Before performing any servicing
of the vehicle, temporarily place
the remote engine start system in
service mode to prevent the
system from unexpectedly starting the engine.
