Ignition Modes
The keyless starting system has three
modes:
Off: Turns the ignition off.
• Without applying the clutch pedal
(manual transmission) or brake pedal
(automatic transmission), press and
release the button once when the
ignition is in the on mode, or when the
engine is running but the vehicle is not
moving.
On:
All electrical circuits are operational
and the warning lamps and indicators
illuminate.
• Without applying the clutch pedal
(manual transmission) or brake pedal
(automatic transmission), press and
release the button once.
Start:

not start when the vehicle starts.
• Press the clutch pedal (manual
transmission) or brake pedal
(automatic transmission), and then
press the button for any length of time.
An indicator light on the button
illuminates when then ignition is on and
when the engine starts. 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.
• Move the transmission selector lever
to a low gear (manual transmission)
or park (P) (automatic transmission).
• Switch the ignition key to position
II. If
your vehicle is equipped with a keyless
ignition, see the following instructions.
Vehicles with an Ignition Key

1. Fully press the brake pedal. If your vehicle is equipped with a manual
transmission, fully press the clutch
pedal also.

2. Turn the key to position III to start the
engine. Release the key when the
engine starts.
Note: The engine may continue cranking
for up to 15 seconds or until it starts.
Note: If you cannot start the engine on the
first try, wait for a short period and try again.
Vehicles with Keyless Start

1. Fully press the clutch pedal (manual transmission) or brake pedal
(automatic transmission).
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 vehicle, do
the following: 1. Locate the key backup slot in the
center console utility compartment.
2. With the buttons facing the rear of the
vehicle and the key ring up, place the
key into the backup slot. 3. With the key in this position, press the
clutch pedal (manual transmission) or
brake pedal (automatic transmission),
and then press the button to switch on
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.
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 vehicle without
the key present inside your vehicle.
Once the vehicle 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 vehicle
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. If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, fully press the
brake pedal. If your vehicle is equipped
with a manual transmission, fully press
the clutch pedal and apply the
handbrake.
2. Move the transmission selector lever to park (P) (automatic transmission)
or neutral (manual transmission).
3. Fully press the accelerator pedal and hold it there.
4. Start the engine.

Automatic Shutdown
This feature automatically shuts down the
vehicle if it has been idling for an extended
period. The ignition also turns off in order
to save battery power. Before the vehicle
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
vehicle shuts down. Another message
appears in the information display to
inform you that the vehicle has shut down
in order to save fuel. Start your vehicle as
you normally do.
Automatic Shutdown Override
Note:
You cannot permanently switch off
the automatic shutdown feature. When you
switch it off temporarily, it turns on at the
next ignition cycle.
You can stop the 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 96).
• During the countdown before
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). Switching Off the Vehicle When it
is Stationary
Vehicles with an Ignition Key

to a low gear (manual transmission)
or park (P) (automatic transmission).
2. Turn the key to position

the ignition and engine automatically shut
down.
Switching Off the Vehicle When It
Is Moving WARNING
Switching off the engine when the
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. When the ignition is
switched off, some electrical circuits,
including air bags, warning lamps and
indicators may also be off. If the ignition
was turned off accidentally, you can shift
into neutral (N) and re-start the engine. 149
