Remote Start WARNING
To avoid exhaust fumes, do not use

transmitter.
This feature allows you to start your vehicle
from outside the vehicle. The transmitter has
an extended operating range.
Vehicles with automatic climate control can
be configured to operate when the vehicle is
remote started. See
Remote Start (page
108). A manual climate control system will
run at the setting it was set to when you
switched the vehicle off.
Many states and provinces have restrictions
for the use of remote start. Check your local
and state or provincial laws for specific
requirements regarding remote start systems.
The remote start system will not work if:
• the ignition is on
• the alarm system is triggered
• you disable the feature
• the hood is open
• the transmission is not in
P
• the vehicle battery voltage is too low
• the service engine soon light is on.

Auto-Dimming Mirror
Note:
Do not block the sensors on the front
and back of the mirror. Mirror performance
may be affected. A rear center passenger or
raised rear center head restraint may also
block light from reaching the sensor.
The mirror will dim automatically to reduce
glare when bright lights are detected from
behind your vehicle. It will automatically
return to normal reflection when you select
reverse gear to make sure you have a clear
view when backing up.
SUN VISORS Rotate the sun visor toward the side window
and extend it rearward for extra shade. Illuminated Vanity Mirror
Lift the cover to switch the lamp on.

window of the vehicle. The control is on the center console.
The sun shade has a one-touch up and down
feature. Press and release the control to
move the sun shade. To stop motion, press
the control a second time.
The sun shade automatically retracts when
you shift the transmission into reverse (R).

MEMORY FUNCTION WARNINGS
Before activating the seat memory,
make sure that the area immediately
surrounding the seat is clear of
obstructions and that all occupants are clear
of moving parts. Do not use the memory function when
your vehicle is moving.
This feature will automatically recall the
position of the driver seat, power mirrors,
optional adjustable pedals and optional
power steering column. The memory control
is located on the driver door. Saving a Preset Position
1. Switch the ignition on.
2. Adjust the seat, exterior mirrors and
power steering column to your desired
positions.
3. Press and hold the desired preset button
until you hear a tone sound.
You can save up to three preset memory
positions. You can save a memory preset at
any time.
Recalling a Preset Position
Note: A preset memory position can only be
recalled when the ignition is off, or when the
transmission is in park (P) or neutral (N) (and
your vehicle is not moving) if the ignition is on. You can recall a preset memory position by:
•
Pressing the unlock button on your
intelligent access key fob if it is linked to
a preset position.
• Unlocking the intelligent driver door
handle if a linked key fob is present.
• Entering a personal entry code on the
Securicode keypad. See Locks (page
56).
Note: When the ignition is off, use a linked fob
to recall your memory position. This moves the
seat and steering column to the Easy Entry
position.
Note: During a memory recall, press any seat,
mirror control, or any memory control to cancel
the operation.
Driving your vehicle will also stop any seat
recall movement.
Linking a Preset Position to Your
Remote Control or Intelligent Access
Key
You can save the preset memory positions
for up to three remote controls or intelligent
access (IA) keys.
1. With the ignition on, move the memory positions to the desired positions.

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 the engine, 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.
• Put the transmission in park (P).
Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
1. Fully press the brake pedal.
2. Press the button. The system does not function if:
•
The key frequencies are jammed.
• The key battery has no charge.
If you are unable to start the engine, do the
following: 1. With the buttons facing the rear of the
vehicle and the key ring up, place the key
into the backup slot.
2. With the key in this position, press the brake pedal, then the button to switch
the ignition on and start your vehicle.
Fast Restart
The fast restart feature allows you to restart
the engine within 20 seconds of switching it
off, even if a valid key is not present.

MKS (), enUSA Starting and Stopping the EngineE173591

Within 20 seconds of switching the engine
off, press the brake pedal and press the
button. After 20 seconds have expired, you
can no longer restart the engine without the
key present inside your vehicle.
Once the engine has started, it remains
running until you press the button, even if the
system does not detect a valid key. If you
open and close a door while the engine is
running, the system searches for a valid key.
You cannot restart the engine if the system
does not detect a valid key within 20
seconds.
Failure to Start
If you cannot start the engine after three
attempts, wait 10 seconds and follow this
procedure:
1. Fully press the brake pedal.
2.
Fully press the accelerator pedal and hold
it there.
3. Start the engine. Automatic Engine Shutdown
If your vehicle is equipped with a keyless
ignition, it has a feature that automatically
shuts down the engine if it has been idling for
an extended period. The ignition also turns
off in order to save battery power. Before the
engine shuts down, a message appears in
the information display showing a timer
counting down from 30 seconds. If you do
not intervene within 30 seconds, the engine
shuts down. Another message appears in the
information display to inform you that the
engine has shut down in order to save fuel.
Start your vehicle as you normally do.
Automatic Engine Shutdown Override
Note:
You cannot permanently switch off the
automatic engine shutdown feature. When
you switch it off temporarily, it turns on at the
next ignition cycle.
You can stop the engine shutdown, or reset
the timer, at any point before the 30-second
countdown has expired by doing any of the
following: •
You can reset the timer by interacting
with your vehicle (such as pressing the
brake pedal or accelerator pedal).
• You can temporarily switch off the
shutdown feature any time the ignition is
on (for the current ignition cycle only).
Use the information display to do so. See
Information Displays (page 88).
• During the countdown before engine
shutdown, you are prompted to press OK
or RESET (depending on your type of
information display) to temporarily
switch the feature off (for the current
ignition cycle only).
Stopping the Engine When Your
Vehicle is Stationary
1. Put the transmission in park (P).
2. Press the button once.
3. Apply the parking brake.
Note: This switches off the ignition, all
electrical circuits, warning lamps and
indicators.
