START - Push Button Start

To enter START mode, with a valid IA key inside the vehicle, press and hold the brake pedal, then press and release the start/stop switch. Once the BCM and RFA module indicate a valid Intelligent Access (IA) key is present inside the vehicle and the BCM has detected the start/stop switch input with the BPP input (automatic transmission) or CPP input (manual transmission), the BCM activates the ignition relay. The BCM also sends the ignition mode message to the other modules over the MS-CAN.

The engine can be started from any ignition mode. Once the ignition has entered START mode, the indicator in the start/stop switch illuminates.
