GNITION
This feature allows the driver to operate the
ignition switch with the push of a START/STOP
ignition button as long as the key fob is in the
passenger compartment.
The START/STOP ignition button has several
operating modes that are labeled and will
illuminate when in position. These modes are
OFF, ACC, RUN, and START.
START/STOP Ignition Button
The push button ignition can be placed in the
following modes:
OFF

The engine is stopped.

Some electrical devices (e.g. automatic
locking, alarm, etc.) are available.
ACC

Engine is not started.


NOTE:
In case the ignition switch does not change with
the push of the START/STOP ignition button, the

this situation, a backup method can be used to
operate the ignition switch. Put the nose side of
the key fob (side with the mechanical flip key)
against the START/STOP ignition button and
push to operate the ignition switch.
CAUTION!
The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is not

assembly, and is not removable. This can
damage the silicone shield.
