the following functions:
• Cut off fuel to the engine (If Equipped)
• Cut off battery power to the electric motor (If Equipped)
• Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power
•
Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the
battery has power or for 15 minutes from the intervention
of the Enhanced Accident Response System.
• Unlock the power door locks.
Your vehicle may also be designed to perform any of these
other functions in response to the Enhanced Accident
Response System: •
Turn off the Fuel Filter Heater, Turn off the HVAC
Blower Motor, Close the HVAC Circulation Door
• Cut off battery power to the:
• Engine
• Electric Motor (if equipped)

the STOP (OFF/LOCK) position and remove the key from
the ignition switch to avoid draining the battery. Carefully
check the vehicle for fuel leaks in the engine compartment
and on the ground near the engine compartment and fuel
tank before resetting the system and starting the engine. If
there are no fuel leaks or damage to the vehicle electrical
devices (e.g. headlights) after an accident, reset the system
by following the procedure described below.
246 SAFETY
To Turn Off The Vehicle Using ENGINE
START/STOP Button
1. Place the gear selector in PARK, then push and releasethe ENGINE START/STOP button.
2. The ignition switch will return to the OFF position.
3. If the gear selector is not in PARK, with vehicle speed less than 5 mph (8 km/h), when the ENGINE START/
STOP button is pushed, the instrument cluster display
will display a “Vehicle Not In Park” message, and the
vehicle will remain running.
4. If the gear selector is not in PARK, with vehicle speed greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), when the ENGINE
START/STOP button is pushed continuously for at least
two seconds (or three short pushes in a row) the vehicle
ignition mode will exit Drive Readymode and enter
Accessory mode. Never leave a vehicle out of the
PARK position, or it could roll. NOTE:
•
This vehicle is equipped with an automatic shutdown
feature. If the vehicle is left in a “READY” state (vehicle
running) with the shifter in “PARK” for one hour, the
vehicle will automatically turn itself off.
• The vehicle provides automatic notification, using a
three Horn Chirp Alert, cluster chiming, and a cluster
message (Key Fob has Left the Vehicle) if the vehicle
was not turned OFF (still Ready to Drive) and a valid
FOB for the vehicle is not detected within the passenger
cabin, following the opening and closing of any passen-
ger compartment door (requires all doors to be closed
before the FOB check will occur). These automatic alerts
are to remind the driver to turn OFF the vehicle before
leaving it, as well as, to let the driver know that the
vehicle’s FOB may have been unintentionally removed
from the vehicle by an exiting passenger. After provid-
ing the horn chirp alert, additional auto chirps will be
inhibited until the shifter has been moved out of Park or
ignition cycled.
