STARTING THE ELECTRIC
MOTOR
Keyless Starting
Note:
The system may not function if the
passive key is close to metal objects or
electronic devices, for example keys or a cell
phone.
Note: A valid passive key must be located
inside your vehicle to switch the ignition on
and start your vehicle.
Note: Passive keys left inside your vehicle
when locked are disabled. A message may
appear in the information display indicating
that there is no key detected when you try
to start your vehicle. Press the unlock
button on the remote control to enable it,
and then start your vehicle.
Ignition Modes The keyless starting system has three
modes:
•
Off: Turns the ignition off. Without
applying the brake pedal, press and
release the power button once when
the ignition is in the on mode, or when
the vehicle is on but not moving.
• On:
All electrical circuits are
operational and the warning lamps and
indicators illuminate. Without applying
the brake pedal, press and release the
power button once from off mode.
• Start:
Starts your vehicle. Press the
brake pedal, and then press the power
button for a couple of seconds. The
green ready to drive indicator lamp

key. If you open and close a door while your

SWITCHING OFF THE
ELECTRIC MOTOR
WARNING

when your vehicle is still moving will
result in a loss of brake and steering
assistance. The steering will not lock, but
higher effort will be required. With the
