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. 233 2010 MKS (mks) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
