Driving
into the backup slot, use the START/STOP button and brake pedal to
start your vehicle as usual. The vehicle should respond normally as long
as the IA key is in the backup slot in the glove box. Once the vehicle is
started, the IA key can be removed from the backup slot, if desired.
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 IA
key is not present when the vehicle is switched off. When you switch
your vehicle off without a IA key in the passenger compartment or trunk,
the message RESTART NOW OR KEY IS NEEDED 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 SHIFT TO PARK 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 turned off by the
START/STOP button, even if the IA 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 NO KEY DETECTED if the IA key is no longer
present. This message is 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 Fast Restart time (see Fast Restart Feature 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.
