System Operation: Off: Notes

To enter OFF mode, press the start/stop button without pressing the brake pedal while the vehicle is in ACC mode, RUN mode or while the engine is running. The IA  key does not have to be in the vehicle to achieve OFF mode. However, the IA  key must be present to achieve any other ignition mode.

When the engine is running and any one of the vehicle doors is opened and then closed, the RFA  module transmits a radio frequency to activate the IA  key. If present, the IA  key transmits a radio frequency signal to the TPM  module. The TPM  module sends a message to the RFA  module indicating that the IA  key is present.

If the IA  key is not present, the message center displays NO KEY DETECTED to alert the driver that the IA  key is not present.

If the IA  key is not present while attempting to enter OFF mode, the message center displays RESTART NOW OR KEY IS NEEDED. The driver then has up to 20 seconds to restart the vehicle without an IA  key being present in the vehicle.
