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.

1. If your vehicle has an ignition key, move the transmission

selector lever to position N (automatic transmission) or neutral
(manual transmission) and use the brakes to bring your vehicle to a
safe stop. When your vehicle has stopped, move the transmission
selector lever to position P (automatic transmission) or 1 (manual
transmission) and turn the key to position 0.
