Starting to Drive
The keyless access system allows simple push-button start.
Before Starting the Engine
With the shift lever in Park, press the brake pedal. Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when starting the engine.
The engine is harder to start in cold weather and in thinner air found at altitudes above 8,000 feet (2,400 m). When starting the engine in cold weather, turn off all electrical accessories such as the lights, climate control system, and rear defogger in order to reduce battery drain. In extremely cold areas, an engine-block heater will improve engine starting. Consult your dealer for details.
Changing the Power Mode
Accessory or On Mode: Press the ENGINE START/STOP button once without pressing the brake pedal for Accessory mode. Press it again for On mode.
Starting the engine: Press and hold the brake pedal, then press the ENGINE START/STOP button. Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when starting the engine.
Turning the vehicle off: Shift to or select Park, then press the ENGINE START/STOP button. If you press the button and the shift lever is not in Park, the vehicle goes into Accessory mode.
