Radio Transmitters And Mobile Phones
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside the vehicle unless a
separate antenna is mounted externally.
Transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehicle body. As far as the use of
approved mobile phones is concerned, follow the usage instructions provided by the mobile phone Manufacturer.
Caution!
The use of these devices inside the passenger compartment (without an external antenna) may cause the electrical systems to malfunction.
This could compromise the safety of the vehicle in addition to constituting a potential hazard for passengers' health.
If mobile phones/laptops/smartphones/tablets are inside the vehicle and/or close to the electronic key, a reduced performance of the Passive
Entry/Keyless Start system may occur may occur.

IGNITIONSYSTEM
Operation
To activate the keyless ignition, the key
fob must be inside the vehicle.
The keyless ignition has the following
modes:
STOP: engine off, steering locked.

locking system, alarm, etc.) are still
available.
ON: all electrical devices are available.
This state can be entered by pushing the
ignition button once, without pressing the
brake pedal.
AVV: engine starting. This state can be
entered by pushing the ignition button
once while pressing the brake pedal. Note:
With the keyless ignition in the ON
position: if 30 minutes pass with the
gear selector in P (Park) and the engine
stopped, the keyless ignition will
automatically reset to the STOP
position.
With the engine started, it is possible
to remove the key fob from the vehicle.
The engine will remain running and the
instrument cluster will indicate the
absence of the key fob when the door is
closed.
For more information on engine start-up,
refer to "Starting The Engine" in "Starting
And Operating."
Warning!
Never use the PARK position as a
substitute for the parking brake. Always
apply the parking brake fully when parked
to guard against vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
When exiting the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in the OFF mode, remove
the key fob from the vehicle, and lock your
vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing
children to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of reasons. A child
or others could be seriously or fatally
injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the
transmission gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, (or in a location accessible to
children), and do not leave the ignition in the
AVV or ON/RUN mode. A child could operate
power windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
Be sure the parking brake is fully
disengaged before driving; failure to do so
can lead to brake failure and a collision.
Always fully apply the parking brake when
leaving your vehicle, or it may roll and cause
damage or injury. Also be certain to leave
the transmission in PARK. Failure to do so
may allow the vehicle to roll and cause
damage or injury.
Driving the vehicle with the parking brake
engaged, or repeated use of the parking
brake to slow the vehicle may cause serious
damage to the brake system.
Caution!
If the Brake System Warning Light remains
on with the parking brake released, a brake
system malfunction is indicated. Have the
brake system serviced by an authorized
dealer immediately.

If wearing gloves, or if it has rained
and the door handle is wet, the activation
sensitivity of the Passive Entry function
may be reduced, resulting in a longer
