position, wait 10 seconds and try step 2 again. If the engine still fails to
start, press the accelerator to the floor and try step 2 again, keeping the
accelerator on the floor until the engine begins to accelerate above
cranking speeds; this will allow the engine to crank with the fuel shut off
in case the engine is flooded with fuel.
Push button start system (if equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with the
push button start system, you can
start your vehicle by pressing the
start button in combination with the
brake pedal rather than using a key.
The start button is located on the
instrument panel to right of the
steering wheel.
In order to operate the Push Button
Start system and start your vehicle,
your Intelligent Access Key (IA
Key) must be present inside the vehicle, either in the passenger
compartment or in the trunk.

button without applying the brake pedal. This allows electrical
accessories such as the radio to operate while the engine is not running.
“Accessory Power Active” and “Press Brake to Start” will be displayed in
the message center. Refer toMessage centerin theDriver Controls
chapter for more information.
2. To put the vehicle in on mode, press and hold the start/stop button for
at least one second without applying the brake pedal. This will power
your vehicle’s electrical system and the warning lights in the instrument
cluster will illuminate, but the engine will remain off.
Note:You cannot immediately start your vehicle from the on mode. If
you would like to start the vehicle and you are in on mode, you must
first switch the vehicle off by pressing the start/stop button.

length of time) while applying the brake pedal.
