KEYLESS ENTER-N-GO IGNITION
If applicable, refer to the “Hybrid Supplement”
for additional information.
- This feature allows the driver to operate
the ignition switch with the push of a
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
- OFF
- ACC
- RUN
The push button ignition can be placed in the
following modes:
OFF
- The engine is stopped.
- Some electrical devices (e.g. Central locking,
alarm, etc.) are available.
ACC
- Engine is not started.
- Some electrical devices are available.

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.

Backup Starting Method

Do Not Use Mechanical Key
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.
The Sentry Key Immobilizer system
prevents unauthorized vehicle operation
by disabling the engine. The system does
not need to be armed or activated...
This system uses the key fob to
start
the engine conveniently from outside
the vehicle while still maintaining
security. The system has a range of
328 ft (100 m)...
Other information:
To provide a safer environment for small
children riding in the rear seats, the rear doors
are equipped with a Child-Protection Door Lock
system.
To use the system, open each rear door, use a
flat blade screwdriver (or mechanical key) and
rotate the dial to the lock or unlock position...
The coolant bottle provides a quick visual
method for determining that the coolant level is
adequate. With the engine OFF and cold, the
level of the engine coolant (antifreeze) in the
bottle should be between the ranges indicated
on the bottle.
The radiator normally remains completely full,
so there is no need to remove the radiator/
coolant pressure cap unless checking for
engine coolant freeze point or replacing
coolant...
