steering column.

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 engine without
the key present inside your vehicle.

Once the engine 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 engine
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.

If you cannot start the engine after three
attempts, wait 10 seconds and follow this
procedure:

1.

Fully press the brake pedal.

2. Fully press the accelerator pedal and

hold it there.
