ENGINE START/STOP Button

Detail
If the keyless remote is set in a storage box or another place where its signal can be interrupted, the power mode may not change.

Changing the Power Mode

If you carry the keyless remote and press ENGINE START/STOP button without depressing the brake pedal, the power mode will change in this order: VEHICLE OFF→ACCESSORY→ON→VEHICLE OFF.


VEHICLE OFF: Vehicle power is turned OFF.
ACCESSORY: The audio system and some accessories can be used.
ON: All accessories can be used.

Automatic Power Off

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

Power Mode Reminder

If you open the driver’s door when the power mode is set to 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 turned on, you can no longer change the ENGINE START/STOP button mode or restart the engine. Always make sure that 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.
