longer present. This message is a reminder that someone else in the
vehicle may have taken the IA key when exiting the vehicle. If the IA key
is no longer present in the vehicle, you will not be able to re-start your
vehicle outside of the Fast Restart time (see Fast Restart Feature
above). It is important to be aware of where your IA key is located in the
vehicle, to avoid becoming stranded without an IA key.
Stopping the Engine When Your Vehicle is Stationary
To stop the engine with the vehicle stationary, do the following:
1. Move the transmission selector lever to position P.
2. Press the start button.
Note: The ignition, all electrical circuits, warning lamps and indicators
are switched off.
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 be locked, but higher effort will be required. When the
ignition is switched off, some electrical circuits, warning lamps and
indicators may also be off.
1. Press the start button for one second, or press it three times within
two seconds.
2. Move the transmission selector lever to position N and use the brakes
to bring your vehicle to a safe stop.
3. When your vehicle has stopped, move the transmission selector lever
to position P.
Fast Restart
If a valid key is not present, the fast restart feature allows you to restart
your vehicle within 10 seconds of switching it off. Press the brake pedal
and press the start button within 10 seconds. After 10 seconds have
expired, you can no longer start your vehicle without the key present
inside the vehicle.
Once your vehicle has started, it remains running until you press the
start button, even if a valid key has not been detected. If you open and
close a door while your vehicle is running, the system searches for a
valid key. You cannot start your vehicle if a valid key is not detected
within 10 seconds.
