GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNINGS
Extended idling at high engine
speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and
exhaust system, creating the risk of
fire or other damage. Do not park, idle or drive your
vehicle on dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system
heats up the engine compartment and
exhaust system, creating the risk of
fire. Do not start the engine in a
closed garage or in other
enclosed areas. Exhaust fumes can
be toxic. Always open the garage door
before you start the engine. If you smell exhaust fumes inside
your vehicle, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized dealer
immediately. Do not drive your vehicle
if you smell exhaust fumes. If you disconnect the battery, your
vehicle may exhibit some unusual
driving characteristics for
approximately 5 miles (8 kilometers)
after you reconnect it. This is because
the engine management system must
realign itself with the engine. You can
disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.
The powertrain control system meets
all Canadian interference-causing
equipment standard requirements
regulating the impulse electrical field
or radio noise. When you start the engine, avoid
pressing the accelerator pedal before
and during operation. Only use the
accelerator pedal when you have
difficulty starting the engine.
KEYLESS STARTING
Note:
The keyless starting system may
not function if the key is close to metal
objects or electronic devices such as
cellular phones.
Note: A valid key must be located
inside your vehicle to switch the ignition
on and start the engine.

button once when the ignition
is in the on mode, or when the

• Without applying the brake
pedal, press and release the
button once.

of time. An indicator light on the
button illuminates when then
ignition is on and when the

STARTING A GASOLINE
ENGINE
When the engine starts for the first
time on your drive, the idle speed
increases, this helps to warm up the
engine. If the engine idle speed does
not slow down automatically, have
your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer. Before starting the vehicle, check the
following:
•
Make sure all occupants have
fastened their safety belts.
• Make sure the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off.
• Make sure the parking brake is on.
• Put the transmission in
P .
Note: Do not touch the accelerator
pedal.
1. Fully press the brake pedal.
2. Press the button.
Note: The green ready indicator
illuminates letting you know that the
vehicle is ready for driving. Since your
vehicle is equipped with a silent key
start, the engine may not start at the
time of the vehicle start. See
Hybrid
Electric Vehicle (page 166).
The system does not function if:
• The key frequencies are jammed.
• The key battery has no charge.
If you are unable to start the engine,
do the following: 162
MKZ (CC9) Starting and Stopping the EngineE155835

If you have run out of fuel:
•
To start the vehicle with a keyless
ignition, just start the engine. Crank
time will be longer than usual.
• Normally, adding 1 gallon (3.8
liters) of fuel is enough to restart
the vehicle. If the vehicle is out of
fuel and on a steep grade, more
than 1 gallon (3.8 liters) may be
required.
• The service engine soon indicator
may come on.
Refilling With a Portable Fuel
Container WARNINGS
Do not insert the nozzle of
portable fuel containers or
aftermarket funnels into the capless
fuel system. This could damage the
fuel system and its seal, and may
cause fuel to run onto the ground
instead of filling the tank, which could
result in serious personal injury. WARNINGS
Do not try to pry open or push
open the capless fuel system
with foreign objects. This could
damage the fuel system and its seal
and cause injury to you or others. Note:
Do not use aftermarket funnels;
they will not work with the capless fuel
system and can damage it. The
included funnel has been specially
designed to work safely with your
vehicle.
When filling the vehicle ’s fuel tank
from a portable fuel container, use the
funnel included with the vehicle.
