IGNITION SWITCH
Keyless Enter-N-Go — Ignition —
If Equipped
This feature allows the driver to operate the
ignition with the push of a button as long as
the key fob is in the passenger compartment.
The START/STOP push button ignition has
three operating modes. The three modes are
OFF, ON/RUN, and START.
NOTE:
If the ignition state/mode does not change
with the push of a button, the key fob may
have a low or dead battery. In this situation, a
back up method can be used to operate the
ignition switch. Put the nose side (side oppo-
site of the emergency key) of the key fob
against the ENGINE START/STOP button and
push to operate the ignition.The push button ignition can be placed in the
following modes:
OFF
• The engine is stopped.
• Some electrical devices (e.g. Central lock-
ing, alarm, etc.) are still available.
ON/RUN
• Driving mode.
• All the electrical devices are available.
START
• Start the engine.
WARNING!
• When exiting the vehicle, always 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 un-
attended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seri-
ously 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 ignition of
a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-
N-Go in the ON/RUN mode. A child
could operate power windows, other con-
trols, or move the vehicle.
• Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury
or death.
• Never remove the mechanical key while
the vehicle is moving, as the steering
wheel will automatically lock as soon as

during Remote Start mode.
• For security, power window and power sun-
roof operation (if equipped) are disabled
when the vehicle is in the Remote Start
mode.• The engine can be started two consecutive
times with the key fob. However, the igni-
tion must be cycled by pushing the START/
STOP button twice (or the ignition switch
must be cycled to the ON/RUN position)
before you can repeat the start sequence
for a third cycle.

hicle doors, hood, liftgate, and the Keyless

eration. While the vehicle security alarm is
armed, interior switches for door locks and
liftgate release are disabled. If something
triggers the alarm, the vehicle security alarm
will provide the following audible and visible
signals:
• The horn will pulse
• The turn signals will flash
• The vehicle security light in the instrument
cluster will flash

WINDSHIELD WIPERS
AND WASHERS
The windshield wiper/washer controls are lo-
cated on the windshield wiper/washer lever
on the right side of the steering column. The
front wipers are operated by rotating a switch,
located on the end of the lever. For informa-
tion on the rear wiper/washer, refer to “Rear
Window Wiper/Washer” in this section.
Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the end of the lever to one of the first
two detent positions for intermittent settings.
The first intermittent wiper interval is 10 sec-
onds. The second intermittent wipe interval
is based on vehicle speed. Rotate to the third
detent for low wiper operation and the fourth
detent for high wiper operation.
CAUTION!
• Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades
from returning to the “park” position. If
the windshield wiper switch is turned
off, and the blades cannot return to the
“park” position, damage to the wiper
motor may occur.
• Failure to follow these cautions can
cause damage to the heating elements:
CAUTION!
• Use care when washing the inside of
the rear window. Do not use abra-
sive window cleaners on the interior
surface of the window. Use a soft
cloth and a mild washing solution,
wiping parallel to the heating ele-
ments. Labels can be peeled off
after soaking with warm water.
• Do not use scrapers, sharp instru-
ments, or abrasive window cleaners
on the interior surface of the win-
dow.
• Keep all objects a safe distance
from the window.
NOTE:
Do not operate the windshield wipers with the
blades lifted from the windshield.

The Rain Sensing system has protection fea-
tures for the wiper blades and arms, and will
not operate under the following conditions:
•Change In Ignition Position— If the vehicle
is in Rain Sensing mode and the ignition is
cycled from OFF to ON, the auto wiper will
be suppressed until vehicle speed is greater
than 3 mph (5 km/h), or the wiper switch is
moved out of and back into the Intermittent
wipe position.
•Transmission In NEUTRAL Position— The
Rain Sensing system will not operate if the
NEUTRAL gear is selected at speeds of
3 mph (5 km/h) or less unless the wiper
switch is moved or the gear selector is
moved out of NEUTRAL.
Remote Start Mode Inhibit— On vehicles
equipped with Remote Starting system, Rain
Sensing wipers are not operational when the
vehicle is in the remote start mode. Once the
operator is in the vehicle and has placed the
ignition switch in the ON/RUN position, Rain
Sensing wiper operation can resume, if it has
been selected, and no other inhibit condi-
tions (mentioned previously) exist.Rear Window Wiper/Washer
The rear wiper/washer controls are located on
the windshield wiper/washer lever on the
right side of the steering column. The rear

to the first detent for intermittent operation
and to the second detent for continuous rear
wiper operation.
To use the washer, push the lever forward and
hold while spray is desired. If the lever is
pushed while the wiper is in the off position,
the wiper will operate for several wipe cycles,
then turn off.
