IGNITION SWITCH Push Button Start
Positions
The system operates only when the key
fob is within operational range.
Each time the keyless ignition
START/STOP button is pushed, the
ignition cycles in the order of OFF, ACC,
and ON. Pushing the START/STOP
button again from ON position cycles
the ignition to the OFF position.
Note:
The engine starts by pushing the
keyless ignition START/STOP button
while depressing the clutch pedal
(manual transmission) or the brake
pedal (automatic transmission). To
change the ignition position, push the
keyless ignition START/STOP button
without depressing the clutch or brake
pedal. Do not leave the ignition in the ON
position while the engine is not
running, doing so could result in the
battery being discharged. If the ignition
is left in ACC position (for automatic
transmission, the gear selector is in the
P position, and the ignition is in ACC),
the ignition cycles to the OFF position
automatically after about 25 minutes.
OFF
The power supply to electrical devices
turns off and the keyless ignition start
indicator light (amber) also turns off. In
the OFF position, the steering wheel is
locked.
ACC (Accessory)
Some electrical accessories will operate
and the indicator light (amber)
illuminates. In the ACC position, the
steering wheel is unlocked.
The Keyless Entry System does not
function while the keyless ignition has
been placed in the ACC position, and
the doors will not lock/unlock even if
they have been locked manually.
ON
This is the normal running position after
the engine is started.
Note: The indicator light (amber) turns
off (the indicator light amber illuminates
when the ignition has been placed in
the ON position and the engine is not
running). Some indicator lights/warning lights
should be inspected before the engine
is started.
When the keyless ignition has been
placed in the ON position, the sound of
the fuel pump motor operating near the
fuel tank can be heard. This does not
indicate an abnormality.
Warning! Never use the PARK position as a
substitute for the parking brake. Always
apply the parking brake fully when exiting
the vehicle to guard against vehicle
movement and possible injury or damage.
When leaving the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in the OFF mode,
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 transmission
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 in
the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.05010101-L12-001AB
