Depleted Key Fob Battery

In case the ignition switch does not change
with the push of a button, the key fob may
have a low or fully depleted battery. A low key
fob battery can be verified by referring to the
instrument cluster, which will display direc-
tions to follow.
NOTE:
A low key fob battery condition may be indi-
cated by a message in the instrument cluster
display, or by the LED light on the key fob. If
the LED key fob light no longer illuminates
from key fob button pushes, then the key fob
battery requires replacement.
In this situation, a back up method can be
used to operate the ignition switch. Put the
nose side of the key fob against the START/
STOP ignition button and push to operate
the ignition switch.
