GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
KEYLESS ENTER 'N GO™ IGNITION
— PHEV ONLY
This feature allows the driver to operate the ignition
with the push of a button as long as the key fob is in the
passenger compartment.
NOTE:
This vehicle is equipped with an automatic shutdown
feature. If the vehicle is left with the ignition in the RUN
position (engine not running) with gear selector in PARK
for 30 minutes, it will automatically turn off the vehicle.
If the driver door is opened, then closed while propul-
sion is active and the vehicle is in PARK, the vehicle will
shut down. Notifications have been designed into this
feature to raise awareness of the timed event by show-
ing messages in the instrument cluster display.
The instrument cluster display will also show the mes-
sage "Ready to Drive" accompanied with three audible
chimes while the driver door is opened while the igni-
tion state is in READY mode. The interior warnings will
occur regardless of whether the key fob remains in the
vehicle or is removed. The horn will sound three times,
and the turn signals will flash, if the key fob is removed
from the vehicle while the ignition state is in READY
mode.
To restart the vehicle, follow the normal process for
starting your vehicle.
The START/STOP ignition button has three operating
modes. The three modes are: OFF, ON/RUN, and START.
START/STOP Ignition Button
NOTE:
•
Pushing the START/STOP ignition button may only
activate the Electric Propulsion System and not start
the vehicle's engine (if running the engine is not
currently required by the Hybrid system). READY will
show in the instrument cluster display whenever the
vehicle is operating in Electric mode and the vehicle
is stationary.
•
If the vehicle's ignition is in either ACC or RUN, the
vehicle charge indicator may not display a value
greater than 99% state of charge due to vehicle
loads.
The push button ignition can be placed in the following
modes:
OFF
•
The engine is stopped.
•
Some electrical devices (e.g., power locks, etc.) are
still available.
•
Mechanical power (Vehicle Propulsion) is not
available
ON/RUN
•
Driving mode.
•
All electrical devices are available (e.g., climate con-
trols, heated seats, etc.).
•
As long as READY appears in the instrument cluster
display, it does not matter if the engine is running or
not, vehicle propulsion is available
START
•
The engine will start.
NOTE:
•
Vehicle propulsion is only available after the vehicle
has passed through the START position.
•
If the brake is pressed and the ignition is placed in
the RUN position with a charging cable connected to
the vehicle, the instrument cluster display will not
display the READY state. When the charging cable is
unplugged from the vehicle, the vehicle will go into
the READY state. If the vehicle is not shifted out of
PARK 30 minutes after being unplugged, the vehicle
will disable the READY state. After an additional
30 minutes with no change in ignition status, the
ignition will turn off and the vehicle will power down
page 95.

reached <1%

perature in Hybrid or e-Save modes
