time, without the brake pedal being pressed,
to place the ignition in the ON/RUN position
(instrument cluster will display “Ignition or
Accessory On”).

The vehicle is not able to be driven in the Ignition
or Accessory On mode, see “Achieving Vehicle
READY Using The ENGINE START/STOP Button”
previously defined in this section for further infor -

in the OFF position, key fob is removed from
the vehicle and vehicle is locked.

Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
