Your vehicle’s starting system has an
auto control mode. When you have
your keyless access remote and push
the engine start/stop button while
depressing the brake pedal (A/T) or
clutch pedal (M/T), this feature
keeps the engine’s starter motor
running until the engine starts.
Follow these instructions to start the
engine:

Make sure the shift lever is in
Park. Press on the brake pedal.

Press the clutch pedal down all the
way. The power mode from ON to
START does not function unless
the clutch pedal is pressed.

In cold weather, turn off all
electrical accessories to reduce
the drain on the battery.

Apply the parking brake.

Without touching the accelerator
pedal, push and release the engine
start/stop button. You do not need
to hold the engine start/stop
button to start the engine. The
starter motor runs until the engine
starts or a maximum of 10

25

seconds depending on engine
coolant temperature.

If the engine does not start, wait at
least 10 seconds before trying
again.

The engine is harder to start in cold
weather. Also, the thinner air f ound at
altitudes above 8,000 f eet (2,400
meters) adds to this problem.
