The keyless START STOP switch is located in
the fascia to the left of the steering column,
it is a push button style switch. To operate
the switch the smart key must be inside the
vehicle.
The operational status displays are as follows:

are no indicators illuminated, the power
system is OFF. The power seats and electric
door mirrors remain operational.

Pressing the START STOP button without
the footbrake being applied whilst the vehicle
power system is OFF will place the system
