Ignition 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: OFF, ON, and RUN.
Note:
The vehicle will not start if the key fob is located inside the cargo area and the liftgate is opened.
START/STOP Ignition Button
The push button ignition can be placed in the following positions:
OFF
The engine is stopped.
No electrical devices are available.
ON
The vehicle is not running.
Some electrical devices (central locking, alarm, etc.) are still available.
RUN
Driving mode.
All electrical devices are available (e.g. climate controls, heated seats, etc.).
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.
Starting The Ignition With Depleted Key Fob Battery
WARNING:
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key fob from the vehicle and lock your vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to children, and do not leave the ignition in the ON or RUN position. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat buildup may cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION:
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation for thieves. Always remove key fob from the vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
