Fast Restart

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

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