IGNITION SWITCH 
KEYLESS PUSH BUTTON IGNITION
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. These modes are OFF, ACC, 
and ON/RUN.Keyless Ignition START/STOP Button
The push button ignition can be placed in the 
following modes:
OFF  
The engine is stopped
Steering is locked
Some electrical devices (e.g. central locking, 
alarm, etc.) are still available
ACC  
Engine is not started
Some electrical devices are available (e.g. 
power windows) ON/RUN
 
The engine will start (when foot is on the brake 
pedal)
All electrical devices are available (e.g. climate 
controls, etc.)
If the ignition switch does not change the mode 
by pushing the 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. Proceed as follows:
1. Lift the front armrest.
2. Lay the key fob on the indicated spot in the bottom of the center console, positioning the
key fob as shown in the following image, 
while pushing the START/STOP ignition 
button to start the ignition.
Key Fob Placement Location
NOTE:
For more information on proper engine 
starting procedures, see  
Ú
page 81.
With the keyless ignition in the ACC position, if 
30 minutes pass with the gear selector in 
PARK and the engine stopped, the keyless 
ignition will automatically reset to the OFF 
position.
When opening the driver's door with the ignition 
in the ACC 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 
  
Ú
page 247.
 WARNING!
When exiting the vehicle, always make sure the 
ignition is in the OFF position, 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 Keyless Push 
Button Ignition 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 
buildup 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.

REMOTE START — 
IF EQUIPPED  
This system uses the key fob to start the 
engine conveniently from outside the 
vehicle while still maintaining security.
NOTE:
Obstructions between the vehicle and key fob 
may reduce this range  
Ú
page 247.
HOW TO USE REMOTE START
Push the Remote Start button on the key fob 
twice within five seconds. The vehicle doors will 
lock, the turn signals will flash twice, and the horn 
will chirp twice. Pushing the Remote Start button 
a third time shuts the engine off.
NOTE:
With Remote Start, the engine will only run for 
15 minutes.
Remote Start can only be used twice.
If an engine fault is present or fuel level is low, 
the vehicle will start and then shut down in 10 
seconds.
The parking lights will turn on and remain on 
during Remote Start mode.
For security, power window and power sunroof 
(if equipped) operation is disabled when the 
vehicle is in the Remote Start mode.
The ignition must be placed in the ACC position 
before the Remote Start sequence can be 
repeated for a third cycle.
All of the following conditions must be met before 
the engine will remote start:
Gear selector in PARK
Doors closed
Hood closed
Liftgate closed
Hazard switch off
Brake switch inactive (brake pedal not 
pressed)
Battery at an acceptable charge level
PANIC button not pushed
System not disabled from previous Remote 
Start event
Vehicle Security system indicator flashing
Ignition in OFF position
Fuel level meets minimum requirement
Vehicle Security system is not signaling an 
intrusion
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is not 
illuminated
TO EXIT REMOTE START MODE
To drive the vehicle after starting the Remote 
Start system, either push and release the unlock 
button on the key fob to unlock the doors, or 
unlock the vehicle using Passive Entry via the 
door handles, and disarm the Vehicle Security 
system (if equipped). Then, prior to the end of the 
15 minute cycle, push and release the START/
STOP ignition button while pressing the brake 
pedal.
The Remote Start system will turn the engine off 
if the Remote Start button is pushed again, or if 
the engine is allowed to run for the entire 
15 minute cycle.
REMOTE START COMFORT SYSTEMS — 
I
F EQUIPPED
When Remote Start is activated, the heated 
steering wheel and front heated seat features will 
automatically activate when ambient 
temperature is less than 39°F (4°C). These 
features will stay on through the duration of 
Remote Start.
NOTE:
This feature can be activated through the radio 
system. Refer to the Information and Entertain -
ment System Owner’s Manual Supplement for 
further information.
 WARNING!
Do not start or run an engine in a closed 
garage or confined area. Exhaust gas 
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is 
odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is 
poisonous and can cause serious injury or 
death when inhaled.
Keep key fobs away from children. Operation 
of the Remote Start system, windows, door 
locks or other controls could cause serious 
injury or death.

NOTE:
Always use this device when carrying children. 
After engaging the child lock on both rear doors, 
check for effective engagement by trying to open 
a door with the internal handle. Once the 
Child-Protection Door Lock system is engaged, it 
is impossible to open the doors from inside the 
vehicle. Before getting out of the vehicle, be sure 
to check that there is no one left inside.

2 — Closed
3 — Open
4 — Tilt Movement
5 — Telescoping Movement
 WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while 
driving. Adjusting the steering column while 
driving or driving with the steering column 
unlocked, could cause the driver to lose 
control of the vehicle. Failure to follow this 
warning may result in serious injury or death.
Do not place any objects on the steering 
wheel (e.g. permanently fixed covers) which 
could interfere with the hand detection 
sensor on the steering wheel of the Active 
Blind Spot Assist (ABSA), Lane Keeping 
Assist (LKA), Traffic Jam Assist (TJA), or 
Highway Assist systems (HAS) (if equipped).
 WARNING!
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any 
after-market operation involving steering system 
or steering column modifications (e.g. installa -
tion of anti-theft device) that could adversely 
affect performance. Doing so could void the 
New Vehicle Limited Warranty, cause SERIOUS 
SAFETY PROBLEMS INCLUDING INJURY, and 
could result in the vehicle not meeting applica -
ble government safety regulations.

for each memory profile. Memory Setting Switch Location
PROGRAMMING THE MEMORY FEATURE
To create a new memory profile, perform the 
following:
1. Place the vehicle’s ignition in the ACC posi
-
tion (do not start the engine), and make sure 
the driver’s door is closed.
NOTE:
A memory profile can also be set for three 
minutes after the driver’s door has been opened.
2. Adjust all memory profile settings to desired  preferences, driver’s seat and mirror posi -
tions.
3. Push and hold the memory button you want  to program for 1.5 seconds. A chime will

been saved successfully.
NOTE:
When a new profile as been set, the previously 
set profile for that button will be overwritten.
 WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to the 
skin because of advanced age, chronic 
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, 
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other 
physical conditions must exercise care when 
using the steering wheel heater. It may cause 
burns even at low temperatures, especially if 
used for long periods.
Do not place anything on the steering wheel 
that insulates against heat, such as a 
blanket or steering wheel covers of any type 
and material. This may cause the steering 
wheel heater to overheat.
