ENGINE START/STOP Button Operating Range
You can start the engine when the keyless remote is inside the vehicle.

The engine may also start if the keyless remote is close to the door or window, even if it is outside the vehicle.

ON mode:
The ENGINE START/STOP button is on (in red), if the engine is running.

If the battery of the keyless remote is getting low, the engine may not start when you push the ENGINE START/STOP button. If the engine does not start, refer to the following link.

Manual transmission models
If the power mode does not change from VEHICLE OFF to ACCESSORY, press the ENGINE START/STOP button while moving the steering wheel left and right. The steering wheel will unlock, allowing the mode to change.

Do not leave the power mode in ACCESSORY or ON when you get out.

Changing the Power Mode

  1. Manual transmission models

Automatic Power Off

If you leave the vehicle for 30 to 60 minutes with the transmission in P (continuously variable transmission) and the power mode in ACCESSORY, the vehicle automatically goes into the mode similar to VEHICLE OFF (LOCK) to avoid draining the battery.

Manual transmission models

When in this mode:
The steering wheel does not lock. You cannot lock or unlock doors with the remote transmitter or the keyless access system. Press the ENGINE START/STOP button twice to switch the mode to VEHICLE OFF (LOCK).

Power Mode Reminder

If you open the driver’s door when the power mode is in ACCESSORY, a warning beep sounds.

Keyless Remote Reminder

When the power mode is set to any mode other than OFF and you remove the keyless remote from the vehicle and shut the door, an alarm will sound. If the alarm continues to sound, place the keyless remote in another location.

When the power mode is in ACCESSORY

The alarm will sound from outside the vehicle.

When the power mode is in ON

An alarm will sound both inside and outside the vehicle. In addition, a warning indicator will appear on the instrument panel.

Detail
When the keyless remote is within the system’s operational range, and all the doors are closed, the warning function cancels.

If the keyless remote is taken out of the vehicle after the engine has been started, you can no longer change the ENGINE START/STOP button mode or restart the engine. Always make sure if the keyless remote is in your vehicle when you operate the ENGINE START/STOP button.

Removing the keyless remote from the vehicle through a window does not activate the warning buzzer.

Do not put the keyless remote on the dashboard or in the glove box. It may cause the warning buzzer to go off. Under some other conditions that can prevent the vehicle from locating the keyless remote, the warning buzzer may also go off even if the keyless remote is within the system’s operational range.
