MKX (CD9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, ASO/OGC Review Introduction

Vehicles with automatic climate control can
be configured to operate when the vehicle
is remote started. See Automatic Climate
Control (page 140).
Many states and provinces have restrictions
for the use of remote start. Check your local
and state or provincial laws for specific
requirements regarding remote start
systems.
The remote start system will not work if:
• The ignition is on.
• The alarm system is triggered.
• You switch off the feature in the
information display.
See General
Information (page 114).
• The hood is open.
• The transmission is not in
P.
• The vehicle battery voltage is too low.
• The service engine soon light is on. Remote Starting the Vehicle
Note:
You must press each button within
three seconds of each other. Your vehicle
will not remote start if you do not follow this
sequence. The tag with your transmitter details the
starting procedure.
To remote start your vehicle:
1. Press the lock button.
2.
Press the remote start button twice. The
exterior lamps will flash twice.
The horn will sound if the system fails to start.
See
General Information (page 114).
The power windows will not work during the
remote start and the radio will not turn on
automatically. The parking lamps will remain on and the
vehicle will run for 5, 10, or 15 minutes,
depending on the setting.
See General
Information (page 114).
Extending the Vehicle Run Time
To extend the engine running time duration
of your vehicle during remote start, repeat
steps 1 and 2 while the engine is running. If
you programmed the duration to last 10
minutes, the second 10 minutes will begin
after what is left of the first activation time.
For example, if your vehicle had been
running from the first remote start for 5
minutes, your vehicle continues to run now
for a total of 20 minutes. You can extend the
remote start up to a maximum of 35 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 will turn off.

General Information (page 114).
Fuel Gauge
Note: The fuel gauge may vary slightly when
your vehicle is moving or on a gradient. Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will
indicate approximately how much fuel is left
in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to the
fuel pump symbol indicates on which side of
your vehicle the fuel filler door is located.
The needle should move toward F when you
refuel your vehicle. If the needle points to E
after adding fuel, this indicates your vehicle
needs service soon.
After refueling some variability in needle
position is normal:
•
It may take a short time for the needle to
reach full after leaving the gas station.
This is normal and depends upon the
slope of pavement at the gas station.
• The fuel amount dispensed into the tank
is a little less or more than the gauge
indicated. This is normal and depends
upon the slope of pavement at the gas
station. •
If the gas station nozzle shuts off before
the tank is full, try a different gas pump
nozzle.
• There is a small reserve left in the tank
when the fuel gauge reaches empty.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel reminder triggers when the
distance to empty reaches 50 miles (80 km),
25 miles (40 km) and 10 miles (16 km) to
empty.
Variations:
Note: The low fuel reminder can appear at
different fuel gauge positions depending on
fuel economy conditions. This variation is
normal.

parking lamps on.
Powertrain Fault Illuminates when the system
detects a powertrain or an AWD
fault. Contact an authorized dealer
as soon as possible. Service Engine Soon If the service engine soon indicator
light stays illuminated after you

the On Board Diagnostics system (OBD) has
detected a malfunction of the vehicle
emissions control system. Refer to On board
diagnostics (OBD) in the Fuel and Refueling
chapter for more information about having
your vehicle serviced. See Emission Control
System (page 179).
If the light is blinking, engine misfire is
occurring which could damage your catalytic
converter. Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid
heavy acceleration and deceleration) and
have your vehicle serviced immediately. WARNING
Under engine misfire conditions,
excessive exhaust temperatures could
damage the catalytic converter, the fuel
system, interior floor coverings or other
vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.

Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing.
Normally, the service engine soon light stays
on until you crank the engine, then turns
itself off if no malfunctions are present.
However, if after 15 seconds the service
engine soon light blinks eight times, it means
that the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing.
See Emission Control System (page 179).
Stability Control It flashes when the system is
active. If it remains illuminated or
does not illuminate when you
switch the ignition on, this indicates a
malfunction. During a malfunction the system
