selector.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or

in a location accessible to children, and do not
leave the Keyless Enter 'n Go™ Ignition in the
ON/RUN position. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals inside parked

vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat buildup
may cause serious injury or death.
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation for thieves.
Always remove key fob from the vehicle and lock
all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
NOTE:
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 show 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.
