several operating modes that are labeled
and will illuminate when in position. These
modes are OFF, ACC, RUN, and START.

NOTE:
In case the ignition switch does not change with
the push of the START/STOP ignition button, the
key fob may have a low or depleted battery. In
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!
- Do not use the Mechanical Key against the
START/STOP ignition button.
- Do not use sharp metal objects (e.g. screw
driver etc.) to pry the button out of the ignition
switch. This button comes as an
assembly, and is not removable. This can
damage the silicone shield.

WARNING!
- When exiting the vehicle, always remove
the key fob from the vehicle and lock your
vehicle.
- Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
- Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended
is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.
- Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to children,
and do not leave the ignition of a
vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go
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 build-up may cause serious injury or
death.
CAUTION!
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:
- When opening the driver's door with the ignition
in the ON/RUN position (engine not
running), a chime will sound to remind you to
place the ignition in the OFF position. In addition
to the chime, the message will display
“Ignition Or Accessory On” in the cluster.
