The horn sounds if the system fails to start,
unless quiet start is on. Quiet start runs the
blower fan at a slower speed to reduce
noise. You can switch it on or off in the
information display. See General
Information (page 93).
Note: If you remote start your vehicle with
an intelligent access key, you must press
the START/STOP button on the instrument
panel once while applying the brake pedal
before driving your vehicle.
Remote start does not turn on the power
windows and does not automatically start
the radio.
The parking lamps remain on and the
vehicle runs for 5, 10 or 15 minutes,
depending on the setting.
Extending the Vehicle Run Time
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the vehicle still
running to extend the run time for another
remote start duration. If the duration is set
to 10 minutes, you can extend the duration
for another 10 minutes. For example, if the
vehicle had been running from the first
remote start for five minutes, the vehicle
continues to run now for a total of 20
minutes. You can extend the engine
running time duration to a maximum of 30
minutes.
Wait at least five seconds before remote
starting after a vehicle shutdown.
Turning the Vehicle Off After Remote
Starting Press the button once. The
parking lamps turn off.
You may have to be closer to the
vehicle than when starting due to ground
reflection and the added noise of the
running vehicle.
You can disable or enable the remote start
system through the information display.
See
General Information (page 93). REPLACING A LOST KEY OR
REMOTE CONTROL
Replacement keys or remote controls can
be purchased from an authorized dealer.
Authorized dealers can program remote
controls for your vehicle. See
Passive
Anti-Theft System (page 69).

following:
•
Make sure all occupants have fastened
their seatbelts.
• Make sure the headlamps and

The fast restart feature allows you to
restart your vehicle within 20 seconds of
switching it off, even if it does not detect
a valid passive key.
Within 20 seconds of switching the engine
off, press the brake pedal and press the
push button ignition switch. After 20
seconds, you can no longer start your
vehicle if it does not detect a valid passive
key. Once your vehicle starts, it remains running

a valid passive key. If you open and close
a door while your vehicle is running, the
system searches for a valid passive key.

2. Fully press the accelerator pedal and
hold it there.
3. Start the engine.
Automatic Engine Shutdown
For vehicles with a keyless ignition, this
automatically shuts down your vehicle if
it has been idling for an extended period.
The ignition also turns off to save battery
power. Before your vehicle shuts down, a
message appears in the information
display showing a timer counting down. If
you do not intervene within 30 seconds,
your vehicle shuts down. Another message
appears in the information display to
inform you that your vehicle has shut down
to save fuel. Start your vehicle as normal.
Automatic Engine Shutdown Override
Note: You cannot permanently switch off
the automatic shutdown. When you switch
it off temporarily, it turns on at the next
ignition cycle.
