Mobile phone chargers can interfere with
the operation of the Keyless Access system.
Battery chargers should not be plugged in
when starting or turning off the engine.
1. Press the brake pedal, then press ENGINE
START/STOP on the instrument panel.
If there is no remote key in the vehicle
or if there is something causing
interference with it, the Driver
Information Centre (DIC) will display a
message.
2. When the engine begins cranking, let go
of the button and the engine cranks
automatically until it starts.
If the battery in the remote key is weak,
the DIC will display a message. The
vehicle can still be driven.
See
“
Starting the Vehicle with a Low
Remote Key Battery
”
under
Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation
. If the remote key battery is dead,
insert it into the cupholder remote key
pocket to enable engine starting.
3. Do not race the engine immediately
after starting it. Operate the engine and
transmission gently until the oil warms
up and lubricates all moving parts.
4. If the engine does not start and no DIC
message is displayed, wait 15 seconds
before trying again to let the cranking
motor cool down.
If the engine does not start after 5 to
10 seconds, especially in very cold
weather (below
−
18 °C or 0 °F), it could
be flooded with too much petrol. Try
pushing the accelerator pedal all the way
to the floor while cranking for up to
15 seconds maximum. Wait at least
15 seconds between each try, to allow
the cranking motor to cool down. When
the engine starts, let go of the
accelerator. If the vehicle starts briefly
but then stops again, repeat these steps.
This clears the extra petrol from the
engine.
Caution
Cranking the engine for long periods of
time, by pressing ENGINE START/STOP
immediately after cranking has ended,
can overheat and damage the cranking
motor, and drain the battery. Wait at
least 15 seconds between each try, to let
the cranking motor cool down.
Stopping the Engine
Shift to P (Park) and press and hold ENGINE
START/STOP on the instrument panel, until
the engine shuts off. If the transmission is
not in P (Park), the engine shuts off and the
vehicle goes into the accessory mode. The
DIC displays SHIFT TO PARK. When shifted to
P (Park) the vehicle turns off.
If the remote key is not detected inside the
vehicle when it is turned off, the DIC
displays a message.
