IGNITION SWITCH
This feature allows the driver to operate the igni- tion switch with the push of a button as long as the Remote Keyless Entry key fob is in the passenger compartment.
The Keyless Push Button Ignition has four oper- ating positions; three of which are labeled and will illuminate when in position. The three posi- tions are OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN. The fourth position is START. During START, RUN will illumi- nate.
In case the ignition switch does not change with the push of a button, the key fob may have a low or depleted battery. In this situation, a back up 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, with your foot applied on the brake pedal, and push to operate the ignition switch.

Back Up Starting Method
The engine only runs in the ON/RUN ignition position or from a remote start request.
In case the ignition switch does not change with the push of a button, the key fob may have a low or depleted battery. In this situation, a back up 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 switch.
The key fob may not be able to be detected by the vehicle keyless-go system if it is located next to a mobile phone, laptop or other electronic device; these devices may block the key fob’s wireless signal and prevent the keyless-go system from starting the vehicle.
