Once your vehicle starts, it remains running
until you press the push button ignition
switch, even if your vehicle does not detect
a valid passive key. If you open and close
a door while your vehicle is running, the
system searches for a valid passive key.
You cannot start your vehicle if you open
the driver door and the system does not
detect a valid passive key.
STARTING A GASOLINE
ENGINE
When you start the engine, the idle speed
increases. This helps to warm up the
engine. If the engine idle speed does not
slow down automatically, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.
Note:
You can crank the engine for a total
of 60 seconds without the engine starting
before the starting system temporarily
disables. The 60 seconds does not have to
be all at once. For example, if you crank the
engine three times for 20 seconds each
time, without the engine starting, you
reached the 60-second time limit. A
message appears in the information display
alerting you that you exceeded the cranking
time. You cannot attempt to start the engine
for at least 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, you
are limited to a 15-second engine cranking
time. You need to wait 60 minutes before
you can crank the engine for 60 seconds
again.
Before starting your vehicle, check the
following:
• Make sure all occupants have fastened
their safety belts.
• Make sure the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off.
• Make sure the parking brake is on. •
Make sure the transmission is in park
(P).
• Switch the ignition key to position II. If
your vehicle is equipped with a keyless
ignition, see the following instructions.

AUTO-START-STOP (If Equipped)
The system reduces fuel consumption and
CO2 emissions by shutting down the
engine when your vehicle is idling, for
example at traffic lights. WARNINGS
The engine may restart
automatically if required by the
system.
Switch the ignition off before
opening the hood or performing any
maintenance. Failure to do so may
result in serious injuries due to automatic
engine restart. Always switch the ignition off before
leaving your vehicle, as the system
may have turned the engine off, but
the ignition will still be on and automatic
restart may occur. Note:
The auto-start-stop indicator
illuminates green when the engine shuts
down. See Warning Lamps and Indicators
(page 92). It flashes amber with a message
when the driver needs to shift to neutral or
press a pedal. See Information Messages
(page
99). If it illuminates grey, the system
is not available. Using Auto Start-Stop With a
Manual Transmission
To Stop the Engine
1. Stop your vehicle.
2. Shift into neutral.
3. Release the clutch and accelerator
pedal. To Re-Start the Engine
Press the clutch pedal.
Note:
To obtain maximum benefit from the
system, move the transmission selector
lever to neutral and release the clutch pedal
during any stop of longer than three
seconds.
Note: Auto Start-Stop also comes with
stall recovery. If you fully press the clutch
pedal after stalling the engine, the engine
automatically restarts.
Using Auto Start-Stop With an
Automatic Transmission
To Stop the Engine
1. Stop your vehicle in drive (D).
2. Release the accelerator pedal.
3. Maintain pressure on the brake pedal.
Note: If your vehicle is in an engine off Auto
Start-Stop state and you move the
transmission to reverse (R) while the brake
pedal is not pressed, a message will appear
on your instrument cluster. Press the brake
pedal within 10 seconds or you will need to
shift to park (P). A manual restart will be
required.
Note: If the Shift to P, Restart Engine
message appears and the amber Auto
Start-Stop indicator flashes, automatic
restart is not available. You must restart
your vehicle manually.
To Re-Start the Engine
Release the brake pedal or press the
accelerator pedal.
Limitations of Use
The system may not shut down the engine
under certain conditions, for example:
• Low engine operating temperature.
• To maintain the interior climate.
• The battery charge level is low.

Using the Clutch
Note:
Failure to fully depress the clutch
pedal to the floor may cause increased shift
efforts, prematurely wear transmission
components or damage the transmission.
Note: Do not drive with your foot resting on
the clutch pedal or use the clutch pedal to
hold your vehicle at a standstill while
waiting on a hill. These actions will reduce
the life of the clutch and could nullify a
clutch warranty claim. Manual transmission vehicles have a
starter interlock that prevents cranking the
engine unless the clutch pedal is fully
depressed.
Starting Your Vehicle
WARNING
Make sure the floor mat is positioned
correctly so that it does not interfere
with the full extension of the clutch
pedal. 1.
Make sure the parking brake is fully set
and shift the gearshift lever to the
neutral position.
2. Fully depress the clutch pedal then start the engine. 3. Press the brake pedal and shift the
gearshift lever to first or reverse gear.
4. Release the parking brake and slowly release the clutch pedal while slowly
pressing on the accelerator.
During each shift, make sure you fully
depress the clutch pedal.
Recommended Shift Speeds
Note: Do not shift the gearshift lever to first
gear when your vehicle is moving faster than
15 mph (24 km/h). This will damage the
clutch.
We recommend you change gear
according to the following guide to achieve
the best fuel economy for your vehicle. Recommended
