Information
This section provides a brief
overview about some of the
important features that may or may
not be on your specific vehicle.
For more detailed information, refer
to each of the features which can be
found later in this owner manual.
Starting the Engine
When first starting the vehicle, the
engine idle speed will be elevated
to allow the catalytic converter, an
emissions control device, to quickly
reach operating temperature.
After approximately 20 seconds,
the engine will begin to transition
to its normal, quieter idle speed,
which can vary depending on the
temperature. This is normal
operation.

On some models, the RKE
transmitter is used to lock and
unlock the doors from up to
20 m (65 ft) away from the vehicle.
On other models, it can be used
up to 60 m (195 ft) away.
