If the vehicle is not in P (Park), the
ignition will return to ACC/
ACCESSORY and display the
message SHIFT TO PARK in the
Driver Information Centre (DIC).
See Transmission Messages on
page 5-30 for more information.
When the vehicle is shifted into
P (Park), the ignition system will
switch to OFF.
The vehicle has an electric steering
column lock. The lock is activated
when the ignition is switched to off
and either front door is opened.
A sound may be heard as the lock
actuates or releases. The steering
column lock may not release with
the wheels turned off centre. If this
happens, the vehicle may not start,
and a DIC message will be
displayed. Turn the steering wheel
to the left or right while attempting to
start the vehicle. See Starting the
Vehicle Messages on page 5-30 for
more information. If this does not
work, see your dealer.
Do not turn the engine off when the
vehicle is moving. This will cause a
loss of power assist in the brake
and steering systems.
If the vehicle must be shut off in an
emergency:
1. Brake using a firm and steady
pressure. Do not pump the
brakes repeatedly. This may
deplete power assist, requiring
increased brake pedal force.
2. Shift the vehicle to N (Neutral).
This can be done while the
vehicle is moving. After shifting
to N (Neutral), firmly apply the
brakes and steer the vehicle to a
safe location.
3. Come to a complete stop, shift
to P (Park) and press the
ENGINE START/STOP button
once to turn the engine off.
4. Set the parking brake. See
Electric Parking Brake on
page 9-12.
Driving and Operating
If the vehicle cannot be pulled over,
and must be shut off while driving,
press and hold the ENGINE START/
STOP button for longer than
two seconds, or press twice in
five seconds.
ACC/ACCESSORY (Amber
Indicator Light): This mode allows
you to use some electrical
accessories when the engine is off.
With the ignition off, pressing the
button one time without the brake
pedal applied will place the ignition
system in ACC/ACCESSORY.
The ignition will switch from ACC/
ACCESSORY to OFF after
five minutes to prevent battery
rundown.
ON/RUN/START (Green Indicator
Light): This mode is for driving and
starting. With the ignition off, and
the brake pedal applied, pressing
the button once will place the
ignition system in ON/RUN/START.
Once engine cranking begins,
release the button. Engine cranking
will continue until the engine starts.
