Ignation Switch
This feature allows the driver to operate the ignition with the push of a button as long as the key fob is in the passenger compartment.
The START/STOP ignition button has three operating modes. The three modes are OFF, ON/RUN, and START.
>START/STOP Ignition Button
| 1 — OFF |
| 2 — ON/RUN |
The push button ignition can be placed in the following modes:
OFF
-
The engine is stopped.
-
Some electrical devices (e.g. power locks, alarm, etc.) are still available.
ON/RUN
-
Driving mode.

All electrical devices are available (e.g. climate controls, heated seats, etc.).

The engine will start.
Note:
If the ignition state/mode does not change with the push of a button, the key fob may have a low or depleted battery. In this situation, a backup method can be used to operate the ignition switch. Put the nose side (side opposite of the emergency key) of the key fob against the START/STOP ignition button and push to operate the ignition.
