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.
Cell phone chargers can interfere
with the operation of the Keyless
Access system. Battery chargers
should not be plugged in when
starting or turning off the engine.
To start the vehicle:
1. For vehicles with an automatic transmission, press the brake
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.
See “Starting the Vehicle with a
Low Transmitter Battery” under
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation on page 2-3.
If the remote transmitter battery
is dead, insert it into the steering
column transmitter pocket to
enable engine starting. See “NO
REMOTE KEY WAS
DETECTED PLACE KEY IN
TRANSMITTER POCKET THEN
START YOUR VEHICLE” under
Key and Lock Messages on
page 5-36.

the vehicle to gain access to the
battery cover.5. Remove the battery cover andlocate the positive (+) and
negative (−) terminals.

insulation. If they do, you could
get a shock. The vehicles could
be damaged too.

positive (+) cable to the
positive (+) terminal (1) of the
dead battery. 8. Do not let the other end touch
metal. Connect it to the
positive (+) terminal (4) of the
good battery.
9. Now connect the black negative (−) cable to the negative (−)
terminal (3) of the good battery.
Do not let the other end touch
anything until the next step.

negative (−) terminal (2) on the
dead battery.

engine for a while.

start after a few tries, it
probably needs service.
