The keyless starting system has three
modes:
•
Off: Turns the ignition off.
• Without applying the brake pedal,
press and release the button once
when the ignition is in the on mode,
or when the vehicle is running but is
not moving.
• On:
All electrical circuits are operational
and the warning lamps and indicators
illuminate.
• Without applying the brake pedal,
press and release the button once.
• Start:
Starts the vehicle. The engine may
not start when the vehicle starts.
• Press the brake pedal, and then press
the button until the vehicle starts. An
indicator light on the button
illuminates when the ignition is on
and when the vehicle starts. STARTING A HYBRID ELECTRIC
VEHICLE SYSTEM
When the engine starts for the first time on
your drive, 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.
Note: 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 seatbelts.
• Make sure the headlamps and electrical
accessories are off.
• Make sure the parking brake is on.
• Put the transmission in
P.
Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
1. Fully depress the brake pedal.
2. Press the button.
Note: The green ready indicator illuminates
letting you know that your vehicle is ready
for driving. Since your vehicle is equipped
with a silent key start, the engine may not
start when your vehicle starts.
See Hybrid
Vehicle Operation (page 173).
The system does not function if:
• The key frequencies are jammed.
• The key battery has no charge.
If you are unable to start your vehicle, do the
following:

MKZ (CC9) Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201905, Second-Printing Starting and Stopping the Engine

1. Remove the rubber covering (A) in the
cupholder. With the buttons facing
upward and the unlock button facing the
front of your vehicle, place the first
intelligent access key into the backup
slot (B).
2. With the key in this position, press the brake pedal, then the START button to
switch the ignition on and start your
vehicle. Fast Restart
The fast restart feature allows you to restart
your vehicle within 20 seconds of switching
it off, even if it does not detect a valid
passive key.
Within 20 seconds of switching your vehicle
off, press the brake pedal and press the
button. After 20 seconds, you can no longer
start your vehicle if it does not detect a valid
passive key.
Once your vehicle starts, it remains running
until you press the button, 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 the system does not detect a valid
passive key within 20 seconds.
Automatic Shutdown
This feature automatically shuts down your
vehicle if it has been idling for an extended
period. The ignition also turns off in order to
save battery power. Before your 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, your vehicle
shuts down. Another message appears in
the information display to inform you that
your 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:

•
Interacting with your vehicle, for example
pressing the brake 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 110).
• 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 Your Vehicle When It Is
Stationary
1. Put the transmission in position
P.
2. Press the button once.
3. Apply the parking brake.
Note: This switches off the ignition, all
electrical circuits, warning lamps and
indicators.
Note: If your vehicle is left running for 30
minutes without any interaction, it
automatically shuts down. Switching Off Your Vehicle When It Is
Moving WARNING:
Switching off the engine
when your vehicle is still moving results in
a significant decrease in braking
assistance. Higher effort is required to
apply the brakes and to stop your vehicle.
A significant decrease in steering
assistance could also occur. The steering
does not lock, but higher effort could be
required to steer your vehicle. When you
switch the ignition off, some electrical
circuits, for example airbags, also turn off.
If you unintentionally switch the ignition
off, shift into neutral (N) and restart the
engine.
1. Put the transmission in position
N and
use the brakes to bring your vehicle to a
safe stop.
2. When your vehicle has stopped, put the transmission in position
P.
3. Press and hold the button for one second, or press it three times within two
seconds. 4. Apply the parking brake.
Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes WARNING: Exhaust leaks may result
in entry of harmful and potentially lethal
fumes into the passenger compartment. If
you smell exhaust fumes inside your
vehicle, have your vehicle inspected
immediately. Do not drive if you smell
exhaust fumes.
Important Ventilating Information
If you stop your vehicle and then leave the
engine idling for long periods of time, we
recommend that you do one of the following:
• Open the windows at least
1 in (3 cm).
• Set your climate control to outside air.

2. Locate the access door and remove the
plastic cover. 3. Pull the outer cover off to expose the
service disconnect cover. 4. Slide the handle on the service
disconnect outboard to the right. 5. Pull the handle toward you and remove
the circuit from the vehicle to disable the
high-voltage battery.
Reactivating the High-Voltage Battery
Note: If you have manually disconnected
your high-voltage shut off circuit you will
need to reconnect the circuit before it can
be reactivated. The vehicle detects if the
electrical system is safe and then
reactivates. HIGH VOLTAGE SHUTOFF SWITCH
The integrity of the high voltage system is
continuously monitored. After a substantial
collision or physical jolt, the high voltage
system could become deactivated. To
reinitialize the system.
1. Press the START/STOP button to turn
the ignition off.
2. Press the brake pedal and press the START/STOP
button.
3. If your vehicle is not powered on after this sequence, repeat steps 1 and 2 up
to two more times.
Note: During this process, your vehicle will
detect if the electrical system is safe and
reactivate. Once your vehicle determines
the electrical system safe, you can start your
vehicle as you would normally by either
turning the ignition key or by pressing the
brake in combination with the START/STOP
button.
Note: In the event your vehicle does not
reactivate after the third key cycle, contact
an authorized dealer.
