- Pressing the brake pedal or accelerator pedal.
- Pressing the OK or RESET button during the countdown.

- Open the center console storage compartment lid.
- With the buttons facing upward and the unlock button facing the front of your vehicle, place the passive key into the backup slot.
- With the key in this position, press the brake pedal then press the push button ignition switch to switch the ignition on and start your vehicle.
