PUSHBUTTON START
Your STS features a Pushbutton Start
System that does not require a
traditional key to start the engine.
Starting Your Engine
•
The Keyless Access System
transmitter must be in the vehicle.
If no transmitter is detected, the
Driver Information Center will
display NO FOBS DETECTED. If the
transmitter is in the vehicle and
the NO FOBS DETECTED message
is displayed, place the transmitter
in the pocket located in the back
of the center console, with the
buttons facing the front of the
vehicle.
•
With your foot on the brake pedal,
press the top of the Start button.
When the engine begins cranking,
release the button. Do not hold
the button for longer than
15 seconds at a time.
•
If the engine does not start and a
Driver Information Center message
is not displayed, wait 15 seconds
and try again.
Stopping Your Engine
•
Move the shift lever to Park (P).
•
Press the bottom of the
Off/Accessory button.
If the shift lever is not in Park (P), the
engine will stop but the vehicle will
go into accessory mode and the
Driver Information Center will display
SHIFT TO PARK. Once the shift lever
is moved to Park (P), the vehicle will
turn off.
ADAPTIVE REMOTE START
This feature allows you to start the
engine from outside the vehicle by
using the Keyless Access System
transmitter. (Normal transmitter
range is within approximately 200
feet of the vehicle.)
You can also set the system to
activate the automatic climate
control, rear window defogger or
seat temperature control (see Vehicle
Personalization Settings).
The engine will run for about
10 minutes before turning itself off,
but can be extended 10 minutes
more by performing another remote
start sequence at any time. After two
consecutive remote starts, no
additional remote starts are allowed
until the vehicle has been started.
Note:
There must be a Keyless Access
System transmitter in the vehicle before the
vehicle will turn off. If a transmitter is not
present, the vehicle will go into accessory
mode. You may choose to turn off the
vehicle by pressing the Off/Accessory
button or go back to run by pressing the
Start button. If the vehicle is turned off, it
will not be able to be started again without a
Keyless Access System transmitter.
