For information about the optional folding mir-
ror function see page 60.
WARNING
The mirrors should always be adjusted prior
to driving. Objects seen in the passenger's
side wide-angle door mirror are closer than
they appear to be.
Mirror memory function (with the central
locking system)*
If you lock the vehicle and later unlock it with
the same remote key and open the driver's
door, the door mirrors (and the driver's seat)
will automatically move to the position they
were in when you left the vehicle. This feature
will work in the same way with all of the remote
key transmitters (up to 3) that you use with your
vehicle. This feature will not function if you lock
your vehicle with the key.
Water repellent glassThe side door mirrors can be treated
with a water repellent coating. The
symbol to the left indicates these windows
have this coating.
The coating improves vision by causing the
water to run off quickly.
For information on cleaning this type of glass,
see page 196.
CAUTION
Use the heating function to remove ice,
snow, or mist from the mirrors.

object. If this occurs, switch off the ignition
(key in position 0 ) and wait for a short period
before operating the seat again.

any of the buttons to stop the seat.
NOTE
Please refer to the following page for infor-
mation on programming the memory func-
tion in the driver's seat.
Remote keyless entry system and the
driver's seat
The remote key transmitter also controls the
position of the electrically operated driver's
seat in the following way:
•Adjust the seat to your preferences.
•When you leave your vehicle, lock it using
the remote key.
The position of the seat is now stored in the
remote key.
Automatic seat adjustmentTo move the seat to the position in which you
left it:
1. Unlock the driver's door with the same
remote key (the one used to lock the doors)
2. Open the driver's door within 2 minutes.
The driver's seat will automatically move to the
position in which you left it.
NOTE
•The seat will move to this position even
if someone else has moved it to a dif-
ferent seating position and locked the
vehicle with a different remote key.
•This feature will work in the same way
with all of the remote key transmitters
(up to 3 ) that you use with your vehicle.
•This feature will not function if you lock
your vehicle with the key.

NOTE
•If an airbag deploys, your vehicle's SRS
control module will attempt to automat-
ically unlock all doors.
•The key blade may also be used to lock
and unlock the doors, and to activate
and deactivate the alarm system.
•To avoid leaving your keys in the vehi-
cle, make a habit of always locking the
vehicle with the remote key.
•If the key blade section of the remote is
not fully folded out when starting the
vehicle, the immobilizer function may
make it impossible to start the engine.
•The vehicle can be locked even if a door
is open. When the door(s) are closed,
they will be locked. Please be aware
that the keys could be locked in the car
when this is done.
Automatic re-lockingIf the doors are unlocked, the locks will auto-
matically reengage (re-lock) and the alarm will
rearm after 2 minutes unless a door or the tail-
gate has been opened. This helps prevent the
car from inadvertently being left unlocked.

135 Starting the engine
WARNING
Before starting, check that the seat, steering
wheel and mirrors are adjusted properly.
Make sure the brake pedal can be
depressed completely. Adjust the seat if
necessary, see page 100.
1. Fasten the seat belt.
2. Apply the parking brake (hand brake) if not
already set. The gear selector is locked in
the P position (SHIFTLOCK).
3. Without touching the accelerator pedal,
turn the ignition key
1 to the starting posi-
tion. Allow the starter to operate for up to
10 seconds. Release the key as soon as
the engine starts
2. If the engine fails to
start, repeat this step.
NOTE
•If the key blade section of the remote is
not fully folded out when starting the
vehicle, the immobilizer function may
make it impossible to start the engine.
•After a cold start, idle speed may be
noticeably higher than normal for a
short period. This is done to help bring
components in the emission control
system to their normal operating tem-
perature as quickly as possible, which
enables them to control emissions and
help reduce the vehicle's impact on the
environment.
•To release the gear selector from the P
(Park) position, the engine must be run-
ning (or the ignition key must be in posi-
tion II) and the brake pedal must be
depressed.
•Select the desired gear. The gear
engages after a very slight delay which
is especially noticeable when selecting
R.
NOTE
Your vehicle is equipped with a KEYLOCK
system. When the engine is switched off,
the gear selector must be in the P position
before the key can be removed from the
ignition switch.
When starting in cold weather, the trans-
mission may shift up at slightly higher
engine speeds than normal until the auto-
matic transmission fluid reaches normal
operating temperature.
NOTE
Do not race a cold engine immediately after
starting. Oil flow may not reach some lubri-
cation points fast enough to prevent engine
damage.
WARNING
An extra mat on the driver's floor can cause
the accelerator pedal to catch. Check that
the movement of the accelerator pedal is
not impeded. No more than one protective
floor covering may be used at one time.
1If two of the keys to your vehicle are close together, e.g. on the same key ring when you try to start the vehicle, this could cause interference in the immobilizer system and result in the vehicle not
starting. If this should occur, remove one of the keys from the key ring before trying to start the vehicle again.
2On vehicles equipped with the autostart feature, release the key immediately. See also page 137.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.259 Introduction
The RSE system can be used at the same time
as the vehicle’s audio system.

tion in position I or II (see page 137 for infor-
mation on the ignition positions), or when the

played will pause momentarily and resume
playing when the engine has started.

when the ignition is switched off, it will be then
be blocked for further use. RSE can be restar-
ted by turning the ignition key to position I.
NOTE
