For details, see "Smart key system" on page 27 in Section 1−2. In cases other than those described above, it is possible that a problem has occurred in an area other than the start system. See "If your vehicle will not start" on page 314 in Section 4. When the battery is disconnected or run down, the push button start function memorizes the current mode. After you reconnect, replace, or recharge the battery, the memorized mode is selected automatically. In any of these cases, turn off the engine if the engine comes on. Wait 10 seconds to start the engine after the battery has been reconnected. The engine may not start on the first try. This does not indicate a malfunction.
