Before Starting
Keys
The vehicle is equipped with a Remote
Keyless Entry transmitter and a Keyless
Ignition Node, to enter, start and
protect the vehicle.
Keyless Ignition Device
This device allows the driver to
operate the ignition switch with the
push of a button, as long as the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
is inside the vehicle.
The Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) has
three operating setups indicated on
the outer ring. Pressing and releasing
the middle button, you can switch
from one setup to the next without
starting the engine, the switched on
indication will turn amber.
The engine will start by pushing the
centre button
START/STOP with the
brake pedal pressed and the device set
in any of the three operating setups.
In case the ignition switch does not
change by pushing a button, the RKE
transmitter (key fob) may have a low
or discharged battery. If this occurs it
is necessary to replace the battery in
order to operate the ignition switch
(see “Requiring and Setting Additional
Key fobs” in this section).
It is still possible to operate the
ignition device using the key fob RKE
transmitter with discharged battery by
pressing the nose side (side opposite of
the emergency key) of the key fob on
the
START/STOP button.
Key Fob
The vehicle is provided with two
programmed key fobs.
The key fob also contains the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and an
emergency key.
The emergency key allows to open the
vehicle by inserting into the lock of the
