support for keyless starting (Passive start).
To start the car:
1. The remote control key must be inside the
car. For cars with Passive Start, the key
needs to be located in the front part of the
passenger compartment. With the option for
keyless locking/unlocking* of the car, the key
can be anywhere in the car.
2. Hold the brake pedal depressed

sure that gear position P or N is selected.

that the gear lever is in neutral position or
that the clutch pedal is depressed.

release it. The control automatically returns
to its starting position.
