Using Fob With Integrated Key (Tip Start)
NOTE:
Normal starting of either a cold or a warm
engine is obtained without pumping or press-
ing the accelerator pedal.
Do not press the accelerator. Use the Fob with
Integrated Key to briefly turn the ignition switch to
the START position and release it as soon as the
starter engages. The starter motor will continue to
run, and it will disengage automatically when the
engine is running. If the engine fails to start, the
starter will disengage automatically in 10 sec-
onds. If this occurs, turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK position, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then
repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure.
