ries), follow these steps:

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”).

• The vehicle is not able to be driven in the “Igni-
tion or Accessory On” mode, see “Achieving
Vehicle Is Ready To Drive Mode Using the EN-
GINE START / STOP Button” previously de-
fined in this section for further information.

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
