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
Intelligent Access Key is not present. When you switch your vehicle off
without a IA Key in the passenger compartment or trunk, the message
ЉRestart Now or Fob Is NeededЉ 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 ЉShift to ParkЉ 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.
Absence of the Intelligent Access Key: Once the vehicle has started,
the vehicle will remain running until being commanded off by the
start/stop switch, even if the Intelligent Access Key is no longer found in
the vehicle. Whenever a door is opened and then closed while the
vehicle is running, the system will search for a IA Key inside the vehicle
and the message center will display ЉNo Fob DetectedЉ if the IA Key is
no longer present. This message is intended as a reminder that someone
else in the vehicle may have taken the IA Key when exiting the vehicle.
If the IA Key is no longer present in the vehicle, you will not be able to
re-start your vehicle outside of the ЉFast RestartЉ time (see ЉFast Restart
FeatureЉ above). It is important to be aware of where your IA Key is
located in the vehicle, to avoid becoming stranded without a IA Key.
Guarding against exhaust fumes
Carbon monoxide is present in exhaust fumes. Take precautions to avoid
its dangerous effects.
WARNING: If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have
your dealer inspect your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you
smell exhaust fumes.
Important ventilating information
If the engine is idling while the vehicle is stopped for a long period of
time, open the windows at least one inch (2.5 cm) or adjust the heating
or air conditioning to bring in fresh air.
