RUN (engine not running) position and the
transmission is in PARK, the system will
automatically time out after 30 minutes of
inactivity and the ignition will switch to the
OFF position.
Keyless Enter-N-Go™ Functions – With

Pedal (In PARK Or NEUTRAL Position)
The Keyless Enter-N-Go™ feature operates

position:
• Press the ENGINE START/STOP button
once to change the ignition switch to the ACC
position (EVIC displays "IGNITION MODE
ACCESSORY"),
• Press the ENGINE START/STOP button a
second time to change the ignition switch to

To ensure reliable starting at these tempera-
tures, use of an externally powered electric

rized dealer) is recommended.
If Engine Fails To Start
WARNING!
• Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid
into the throttle body air inlet opening in an
attempt to start the vehicle. This could result
in flash fire causing serious personal injury.
• Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle
to get it started. Vehicles equipped with an
automatic transmission cannot be started
this way. Unburned fuel could enter the
catalytic converter and once the engine
has started, ignite and damage the con-
verter and vehicle.
• If the vehicle has a discharged battery,
booster cables may be used to obtain a
start from a booster battery or the battery
in another vehicle. This type of start can be
dangerous if done improperly. Refer to
"Jump Starting" in "What To Do In Emer-
gencies" for further information.
