The vehicle will not shift out of Park and will display a Charge Cord Connected message if the vehicle is still plugged in.
When ON, the instrument cluster will display an active battery and fuel gauge. The engine will start only if needed.
The READY READY light will display on the instrument cluster when the vehicle is ready to be driven.

POWER button again to turn off the vehicle.
