Advanced Keyless Entry and Start System

ON

This is the normal running position after the engine is started. The warning lights (except brakes) should be inspected before the engine is started (page 5-42).

NOTE

When the ignition is switched ON, the sound of the fuel pump motor operating near the fuel tank can be heard. This does not indicate an abnormality.

START

The engine is started in this position. It will crank until you release the start knob; then it returns to the ON position. The brake warning light can be checked after the engine is started (page 5-42).

Starting the engine

NOTE

lEngine-starting is controlled by the spark ignition system.

This system meets all Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Standard

requirements regulating the impulse electrical field strength of radio noise.

lThe advanced key must be carried because the advanced key carries an immobilizer chip that must communicate with the engine controls at short range.

lWhen starting the engine, be sure the start knob is securely attached before trying to operate it. If the knob becomes detached from the ignition switch, re-attach it by pushing it on to the ignition switch.

1.Make sure the advanced key is being carried.

2.Occupants should fasten their seat belts.

3.Make sure the parking brake is on.

4.Depress the brake pedal.
