GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
CAUTION!
An unlocked car is an invitation for thieves. Always
remove the key fobs from the vehicle and lock all
doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
NOTE:
•
The key fob may not be detected by the vehicle Key-
less Enter 'n Go™ system if it is located next to a
mobile phone, laptop or other electronic device;
these devices may block the key fob's wireless sig-
nal and prevent the Keyless Enter 'n Go™ system
from starting the vehicle.
•
For the proper engine starting procedure, see
page 119.
KEYLESS ENTER 'N GO™ IGNITION
— HYBRID MODELS ONLY
This feature allows the driver to operate the ignition
switch 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 in READY state (vehicle run-
ning) with the gear selector in the PARK position for
30 minutes, 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" accompanied with
three audible chimes while exiting. The interior warnings
will occur regardless of whether 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 igni-
tion state is in READY mode. To restart the vehicle, follow
the normal process for starting your vehicle.
The START/STOP ignition button has four operating
positions; three of which are labeled and will illuminate
when in position. The three positions are OFF, ACC, and
ON/RUN. The fourth position is START. During START,
RUN will illuminate.
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 ON/RUN,
the vehicle charge indicator may not display a value
greater than 99% state of charge due to vehicle
loads.
