Starting the Engine (Models with Keyless Access System) Check Starting System Message If this message is on, you should press and hold the engine start/stop button until the engine starts. The engine start/stop button may need to be held several seconds before the starter motor runs. The starter motor can be run up to 15 seconds. Even though you may be able to start the engine manually without the auto control mode of the starting system, have your vehicle inspected by a dealer. If there is a problem with the starting system, you will see a ''CHECK STARTING SYSTEM'' message on the multi-information display with the power mode ON. You will also see this message when the auto control mode of the starting system has a problem. Your vehicle has the engine start/ stop button instead of an ignition switch to select the power mode. For more information, see page 184 . Emergency Engine Start If you cannot start the engine using the normal engine start procedure, do the following: 1. Set the parking brake. 2. Automatic transmission: Put the shift lever into Park. 3. Press the engine start/stop button to turn on the ACCESSORY mode. 4. Press and hold the engine start/ stop button for about 15 seconds while pressing the brake pedal (automatic) or the clutch pedal (manual). Do not follow this procedure unless it is a case of emergency. Even if you can start the engine using this method, the system may have a malfunction. Contact your dealer as soon as possible.
