Driving and Operating 9-21
The instruments and audio systems
will operate as they do in ON/RUN,
but the vehicle will not be able to be
driven. The engine will not start in
Service Only Mode. Press the
button again to turn the vehicle off.
Starting the Engine
Move the shift lever to P (Park) or
N (Neutral) for an automatic
transmission. For a manual
transmission the vehicle can be
started in Neutral or any other gear
as long as the clutch pedal is
pressed. To restart a vehicle with a
manual transmission when it is
already moving, use the Neutral
position only. To restart a vehicle
with an automatic transmission
when it is already moving, use
N (Neutral).
{Caution
Do not try to shift to P (Park) if the
vehicle is moving. If you do, you
could damage the transmission.
Shift to P (Park) only when the
vehicle is stopped.
The RKE transmitter must be inside
the vehicle for the ignition to work.

should not be plugged in when
starting or turning off the engine.
To start the vehicle:

pedal, then press the ENGINE
START/STOP button on the
instrument panel. For vehicles
with a manual transmission,
press the clutch pedal first, then
press the ENGINE START/
STOP button. If there is no RKE transmitter in
the vehicle or if there is
something causing interference
with it, the DIC will display a
message. See
Key and Lock
Messages on page 5-36.
2. When the engine begins cranking, let go of the button and
the engine cranks automatically
until it starts. If the battery in the
RKE transmitter is weak, the
DIC will display a message. The
vehicle can still be driven.
