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.

In order to operate the push button
start system and start the vehicle,
your Intelligent Access key (IA key)

may continue cranking for up to 10 seconds or until the vehicle starts.
Note: You can start the engine from any ignition mode. Note: The
indicator light on the start button will illuminate when the vehicle is in
on mode and when the engine is started.
2. After idling for a few seconds, release the parking brake, apply the
brake, shift into gear and drive.
There may be areas inside your vehicle where the IA key is not detected.
