Automatic Transmission - Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid 2020 Owner's Manual

will display a "Vehicle Not In Park"
message, and the vehicle will remain
running.
4. If the gear selector is not in PARK, with
vehicle speed greater than 5 mph (8 km/
h), when the ENGINE START/STOP
button is pushed continuously for at least
two seconds (or three short pushes in a
row) the vehicle ignition mode will exit
Drive "Ready" mode and enter "Accessory
mode". Never leave a vehicle out of the
PARK position, or it could roll.
NOTE:
This vehicle is equipped with an automatic

shutdown feature. If the vehicle is left in a
"READY" state (vehicle running) with the
shifter in "PARK" for one hour, the vehicle
will automatically turn itself off.
The vehicle provides automatic notifica-

tion, using a three Horn Chirp Alert, cluster
chiming, and a cluster message ("Key Fob
has Left the Vehicle") if the vehicle was not
turned OFF (still "Ready to Drive") and a
valid FOB for the vehicle is not detected
within the passenger cabin, following the
opening and closing of any passenger
compartment door (requires all doors to be
64
closed before the FOB check will occur).
These automatic alerts are to remind the
driver to turn OFF the vehicle before
leaving it, as well as, to let the driver know
that the vehicle's FOB may have been
unintentionally removed from the vehicle
by an exiting passenger. After providing
the horn chirp alert, additional auto chirps
will be inhibited until the shifter has been
moved out of Park or ignition cycled.
