1. Remove the rubber covering (A) in
the cupholder. Place the remote in
the backup slot (B) at the bottom
of the cupholder.
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 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.
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 103).
• 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
1. Put the transmission in position P.
2. Press the button once.
