Backup Method of Starting:
Your
IA key uses a radio frequency signal
to communicate with your vehicle
and authorize your vehicle to start
when you press the START/STOP
button and apply the brake pedal. If
excessive radio frequency
interference is present in the area,
or if the battery in your IA key is
low, it may be necessary to start
your car by inserting the IA key in
the backup slot, located in your
glove box. Insert the IA key into the
slot with buttons facing out and
with key ring up. After inserting the
IA key into the backup slot, use the
START/STOP button and brake
pedal to start your vehicle as usual.
The vehicle should respond normally
as long as the IA key is in the
backup slot in the glove box. Once
the vehicle is started, the IA key can
be removed from the backup slot, if desired.
Fast Restart Feature:
The Fast Restart feature allows you to re-start
your vehicle within 20 seconds of switching the vehicle off, if a valid IA
key is not present. When you switch your vehicle off without a IA key in
the passenger compartment or trunk, the message RESTART NOW OR
FOB IS NEEDED will be displayed on the message center. You can
re-start the vehicle (by applying the brake pedal and pressing the
START/STOP button) for up to 20 seconds, even though the IA key is
not present. After 20 seconds have expired, you can no longer start your
vehicle without the IA key present inside the vehicle.
Switching the Vehicle Off when not in Park:
It is recommended that
you shift into the Park position before switching your vehicle off. If you
switch your vehicle off with the shifter in any position other than Park,
the message SHIFT TO PARK will be displayed in the message center. If
the vehicle is left in this state, your key in ignition chime will activate
when the driver door is opened, and you may drain your vehicle’s
battery. In order to avoid draining your battery, it is recommended that
you always shift to park before or immediately after switching your
vehicle off.
