Fast Restart (Vehicles with Keyless Start)

The fast restart feature allows you to restart the engine within
10 seconds of switching it off, even if a valid key is not present.

Within 10 seconds of switching the engine off, press the brake pedal and
press the button. After 10 seconds have expired, you can no longer start
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 start the engine if the system does not detect a valid key
within 10 seconds.

Failure to Start

If you cannot start the engine after three attempts, wait 10 seconds and
follow this procedure:
1. Fully press the brake pedal. If your vehicle is equipped with a manual

transmission, fully press the clutch pedal also.

2. Fully press the accelerator pedal and hold it there.
3. Start the engine.

Stopping the Engine When Your Vehicle is Stationary

1. Move the transmission selector lever to position P (automatic

transmission) or 1 (manual transmission).

2. If your vehicle has an ignition key, turn the key to position 0.

If your vehicle has a keyless start system, press the button once.

3. Apply the parking brake.

Note: This switches off the ignition, all electrical circuits, warning lamps
and indicators.

Stopping the Engine When Your Vehicle is Moving

WARNING: Switching off the engine when the vehicle is still
moving will result in a loss of brake and steering assistance.

The steering will not lock, but higher effort will be required. When the
ignition is switched off, some electrical circuits, warning lamps and
indicators may also be off.
