IGNITION SWITCH
This feature allows the driver to start the vehicle
with the push of a button, as long as the key fob is in
the passenger compartment, and the drivers foot
on the brake pedal.
NOTE:
This vehicle is equipped with an automatic shut-
down feature. If the vehicle is left in "READY" state
(vehicle running) with shifter in "PARK" for one
hour, it will automatically turn off the vehicle. Noti-
fications have been designed into this feature to
raise awareness of the timed event. The instrument
cluster display will display "Ready to drive" accom-
panied with three audible chimes while exiting. The
interior warnings will occur regardless if the key fob
remains in the vehicle or is removed. The horn will
sound three times if the fob is removed from the
vehicle and the ignition state is in "READY" mode.
To restart the vehicle, follow the normal process for
starting your vehicle.

nate.

vate the Electric Propulsion System and not start
