Your vehicle has an electronic keyless ignition with pushbutton start.
(START): Press this button while your foot is on the
brake to start the engine. The shifter must be in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) to start
the engine and the keyless access transmitter must be in the vehicle for the ignition
to work.
ACC (OFF/ACCESSORY): When this button is pressed, the
engine will turn off even if the shifter is not in PARK (P). If the shifter is in
PARK (P), the ignition mode will change to RAP, if all doors are closed. The ignition
mode will change to OFF, if a front door is opened. See
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
for more information. If the shifter is
not in PARK (P), the ignition mode will change to ACC. See
Shifting Into Park
.
When the engine is off, press this
button to place the vehicle in accessory mode. ACCESSORY ACTIVE will display on the
Driver Information Center (DIC). This mode allows you to use things like the radio
and the windshield wipers while the engine is off. Use accessory mode if you must
have your vehicle in motion while the engine is off, for example, if your vehicle
is being towed. If the door is open while in accessory mode, the key in
reminder chime will sound continuously.
If the push-button start is not working, your vehicle may be near a strong radio
antenna signal causing interference to the keyless access system. See
DIC Warnings and Messages
for more information.
After being in ACC for about 20 minutes, the vehicle will automatically enter
RAP or will turn off, depending on if the doors are opened or closed.
