  3. Press the push button start to turn off the engine. The ignition position is off.

 

  • The cooling fan in the engine compartment could turn on for a few minutes after the ignition is switched from ON to OFF, whether or not the A/C is on or off, to cool the engine compartment quickly.
  • When the push button start is pressed from ON to ACC or OFF, the KEY indicator light (green) may flash for approximately 30 seconds indicating that the remaining battery power of the key is low.

    Replace with a new battery before the key becomes unusable. Refer to Key Battery Replacement.
