Keyless drive makes it possible to unlock, start and lock the vehicle without using a remote control. A start control is fitted in the ignition switch on vehicles equipped with the optional keyless drive. This control is used in the same way as the ignition key to start the engine. See also page 136 for general information on starting the engine. NOTE A keyless drive remote control must be in the passenger's compartment or in the trunk/cargo area in order to start the engine. 1. Press the brake pedal (the clutch pedal must also be fully depressed on models with a manual transmission). 2. Press in the keyless drive start control and turn it to position III. NOTE The vehicle is equipped with an autostart function that makes it possible to start the engine without holding the start control in position III. Turn the start control to position III and release it. The starter motor will then operate automatically (for up to ten seconds) until the engine starts. Starting the vehicle with the ignition key (remote control) A vehicle with keyless drive can also be started with the ignition key (if, for example, the battery in the keyless drive remote control is weak). To do so: 1. Press the catch on the side of the start control (see the illustration). 2. Pull the keyless drive start control out of the ignition switch. 3. Insert the remote control into the ignition switch and turn it to position III to start the engine.
