break in is performed during
manufacturing.

Power Button

The vehicle has an electronic
push button start. The POWER
button light flashes when the driver
door is open and the vehicle is not
on. The flashing light will eventually
time out. The POWER
light is on steady when in ON/RUN
power mode. When the vehicle is
turned off, the POWER
light will turn off.
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter must be in the vehicle for
the system to operate. If the vehicle
will not start, place the RKE
transmitter in the transmitter slot.

only start if needed. If the vehicle
did not start, the instrument cluster
will display a screen with inactive
fuel and battery gauges. See
