ENGINE START/STOP Button Functions — With
Driver’s Foot OFF The Brake Pedal (In PARK Or
NEUTRAL Position)
The ENGINE START/STOP button operates
similar to an ignition switch by providing three
positions: OFF, ACC and RUN. To change the
ignition mode without starting the vehicle (to
power certain accessories), follow these steps:
1. Start with the ignition in the OFF mode.
2. Push the ENGINE START/STOP button once,
without brake pedal being pressed, to place
the ignition in the ACC mode (instrument
cluster will display “ACC”).
3. Push the ENGINE START/STOP button a
second time, without brake pedal being
pressed, to place the ignition in the RUN
mode (instrument cluster will display
“Ignition or Accessory On”).
NOTE:
The vehicle is not able to be driven in the
“Ignition or Accessory On” mode, see
“Achieving Vehicle Is Ready To Drive
Mode Using the ENGINE START / STOP
Button” previously defined in this section
for further information.
The rotary gear selector will turn but only
PARK and NEUTRAL are accessible in the
“Ignition or Accessory On” mode.
4. Push the ENGINE START/STOP button a
third time, without brake pedal being
pressed, to return the ignition to the OFF
mode (instrument cluster will display
“OFF”).
NOTE:
Only press one pedal at a time while driving the
vehicle. Torque performance of the vehicle
could be reduced if both pedals are pressed at
the same time. If pressure is detected on both
pedals simultaneously, a warning message will
display in the instrument cluster.
AUTOPARK
AutoPark is a supplemental feature to assist in
placing the vehicle in PARK should the
situations on the following pages occur. It is a
back up system and should not be relied upon
as the primary method by which the driver shifts
the vehicle into PARK.
The conditions under which AutoPark will
engage are outlined on the following pages.
WARNING!
Driver inattention could lead to failure to
place the vehicle in PARK. ALWAYS DO A
VISUAL CHECK that your vehicle is in PARK
by verifying that a solid (not blinking) “P” is
indicated in the instrument cluster display
and near the gear selector. If the "P" indi-
cator is blinking, your vehicle is not in
PARK. As an added precaution, always
apply the parking brake when exiting the
vehicle.
AutoPark is a supplemental feature. It is not
designed to replace the need to shift your
vehicle into PARK. It is a back up system
and should not be relied upon as the
primary method by which the driver shifts
the vehicle into PARK.
