SMART ENTRY SYSTEM AND
PUSH-BUTTON START
Vehicle Starting/Stopping
The smart key has replaced the conventional metal
cut key, and the power button with an integral
status indicator light has replaced the ignition
switch. The smart key only needs to be in proximity
to the vehicle.
•
With the brake pedal released, the first push of
the power button operates the accessory mode,
the second push operates the ignition-on mode,
and the third push turns the ignition off again.
Ignition Mode Sequence (Brake pedal released):
•
Starting the vehicle takes priority over all other
ignition modes and is accomplished by
depressing the brake pedal and pushing the
power button once. To verify the vehicle has
started, the power button status indicator light
is off and the
READY
light is illuminated in the
instrument cluster.
•
If the internal smart key battery is discharged, it
cannot communicate with the vehicle. In order
for the vehicle to recognise the smart key, the
driver must hold the smart key next to the
power button while pushing the power button.
•
Once the vehicle has started and is on and
operational (
READY
-ON), the vehicle is shut off
by bringing the vehicle to a complete stop,
placing the gearshift lever in
P
ark, and then
depressing the power button once.
