ENGINE START BACKUP [G2748649]

The engine start backup feature is required to disarm the alarm and start the engine, if either of the following occur:

  1. The vehicle is unlocked using the emergency key blade.
  2. The smart key is not detected by the vehicle.

The engine start backup feature can only be used when the instrument panel displays Place Smart Key as shown, and press start button.

To carry out the engine start backup procedure:

  1. Slide the cup holder rearward to access the USB switch pack.
  2. Position the smart key on the markings of the switch pack.
  3. While holding the smart key in position, firmly press the brake pedal.
  4. Press and release the engine START/STOP button.

Once the engine starts, release the brake pedal, if it is safe to do so.

If the smart key is not recognized, or the engine fails to start, consult a retailer/authorized repairer.
