At the second press of the

button, the ignition device switches
to
RUN
position (see “Keys” in section
“Before Starting”) and the instrument
cluster displays the latest screenshot.
At the third press of the
START/STOP

OFF
position and the display powers
down.
At the fourth press of the
START/STOP
button the screen will display the
message that invites you to press the
brake pedal and push the
START/STOP
button to start the engine.
NOTE:
If the ignition device is left in the
ACC
or
RUN
(engine not running) position
and the transmission is in P (Park), the
system will automatically time out
after 30 minutes of inactivity and the
ignition device will switch to the
OFF
position.
After starting the engine, the idle
speed is controlled automatically and
will decrease as the engine warms up.
Engine Start Failure
CAUTION!
•
Do not attempt to push or tow
your vehicle to get it started.
Vehicles equipped with an automatic
transmission cannot be started this
way. Moreover, unburned fuel could
enter the catalytic converter and
once the engine has started, ignite
and damage the converter and
vehicle.
•
If the vehicle has a discharged
battery, booster cables may be used
to obtain a start from a booster
battery or the battery in another
vehicle. This type of start can be
dangerous if done improperly. See
“Auxiliary Jump Start Procedure”
in section “In an Emergency” for
further information.
Flooded Engine Clearing
If the engine fails to start after
you have followed the described
procedures, it may be flooded. To clear
any excess fuel, move the shift lever in
P (Park) position. Press and hold the
brake pedal, push the accelerator all
the way to the floor and hold it, then
press and release the
START/STOP
button once. The starter will engage
automatically, run for 10 seconds,
and then disengage. Once this occurs,
release the accelerator pedal and the
brake pedal, wait 10 to 15 seconds,
then repeat the normal starting of the
engine procedure.
Driving with a Cold Engine
Start-off slowly, avoiding sudden
acceleration and rev the engine up at
low medium speeds. High-performance
driving should be avoided until the
engine temperature reaches 65-70
°
C
(149-158
°
F).
Engine Turn Off
• With the shift lever in P (Park), D
(Drive) or R (Reverse) positions (see
“Automatic Transmission” in this
section) and vehicle standstill, press
and release the
START/STOP
button
to switch off the engine. A burst on
the accelerator pedal before turning
off the engine has no purpose and
increases fuel consumption.
• If the shift lever is in N (Neutral) and
the
START/STOP
button is pressed
once, the instrument cluster will
display a “Vehicle Not in Park”
message and the engine will remain
running.
