When the keyless remote is within the system’s operational range, and the driver’s door is closed, the warning function cancels.
If the keyless remote is taken out of the vehicle after the engine has been started, you can no longer change the ENGINE START/STOP button mode or restart the engine. Always make sure if the remote is in your vehicle when you operate the ENGINE START/STOP button.
