Turning OFF the Vehicle

When a vehicle is in a normal run mode, the keyless entry transmitter should already be present within the passenger compartment. To switch the vehicle to OFF mode, press the ACC/OFF portion of the Start/ACC/OFF mode button and the vehicle will power OFF. For a vehicle to transition to the OFF mode the transmission must be placed in Park. If the transmission is not in Park when the vehicle is switched OFF, the ignition will remain in the RUN position. Should this occur, the vehicle will automatically switch to the OFF mode after approximately 10 minutes.

While in normal run mode if the transmitter is removed from the vehicle it will not stall; the vehicle will continue to run as normal. However, if the vehicle is attempted to be powered OFF with no key fob present, the driver information center (DIC) will display a message to the customer stating NO FOB, OFF or RUN. At this point, the customer has a final opportunity to continue to run the vehicle. Once a running vehicle is powered OFF without a key fob present, the vehicle will not be able to be restarted until a valid key fob is present. On a normal power OFF, if the customer is exiting the vehicle, and the key fob is left in the passenger compartment, the horn will chirp 3 times, alerting the customer that the key fob has been left in the vehicle. This feature can be turned On/Off through the DIC personalization. Refer to Personalization Description and Operation or the Owner's Manual for more information.
