16 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Emergency Unlocking Feature In the case of an accident, the doors unlock automatically a short time after a strong deceleration is detected, such as in a collision (this is intended to aid rescue and exit). However, the key must still be in the ignition. Start Lockout Removing the key from the ignition switch activates the start lockout. The engine cannot be started. Turning the key to the ON/RUN position deactivates the start lockout. If the engine cannot be started, and the messages START and ERROR are shown in the odometer display field, the system is not operational. Contact an authorized dealer. REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY This feature allows you to lock or unlock the vehicle from remote locations using a hand-held transmitter located in the key Fob. You don't have to point the transmitter at the vehicle to activate the system. The vehicle doors, rear liftgate/decklid, fuel filler door, and center console (roadster only) can be locked and unlocked using the remote control. To Unlock the Doors Press and release the UNLOCK button on the key Fob. NOTE: If within 40 seconds of unlocking with the key Fob, neither door is opened, the key is not inserted in the ignition switch, or the central locking switch is not activated, the vehicle will automatically lock.
