Main Menu Table Of Contents Keyless Access System Engine Start/Stop Button Operation This system uses the engine start/ stop button instead of an ignition switch to start and stop the engine. If you are carrying the keyless access remote, you can start the engine by pressing the engine start/stop button with the brake pedal depressed. You can also stop the engine by pushing this button when the vehicle is stopped. Switching the Power Modes Changing the Power Mode without Starting the Engine The keyless access system has four power modes: VEHICLE OFF (LOCK), ACCESSORY, ON, and START. Each time you press the engine start/stop button without pressing the brake pedal while carrying the keyless access remote, the power mode switches between VEHICLE OFF (LOCK), ACCESSORY, and ON. You can start the engine at any time by pressing the engine start/stop button, while pressing the brake pedal, with the shift lever in Park or neutral position. To change the power mode without turning on the engine, press the engine start/stop button without pressing the brake pedal. The power mode will be changed as shown on the next page. 178 2009 TL
