Keyless Push Button Ignition — If
Equipped
This feature allows the driver to operate the
ignition switch with the push of a button as
long as the Remote Keyless Entry key fob is in
the passenger compartment.
The Keyless Push Button Ignition has four
operating positions; three of which are la-
beled 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:
In case the ignition switch does not change
with the push of a button, the key fob may
have a low or dead battery. In this situation, a
back up method can be used to operate the
ignition switch. Put the nose side (side oppo-
site of the emergency key) of the key fob
against the ENGINE START/STOP button,
with your foot applied on the brake pedal, and
push to operate the ignition switch.
