A start control is fitted in the ignition switch on vehicles equipped with the optional keyless drive. This control is used
in the same way as the ignition key to start the engine. See also page 136
for general information on starting the
engine.

A keyless drive remote control must be in the passenger's compartment or in the trunk/cargo area in order to start the
engine.
