Start Your EV Upon Entry with Hands-Free Start

Starting the Vehicle

Method 1:

1. Sit in the driver’s seat and make sure the key fob is inside the vehicle.

2. Press the brake pedal.

Method 2 (works if the key fob hasn’t been left in the vehicle after the last drive cycle):

Shutting Off the Vehicle

Method 1:

1. Shift back into PARK once you are at your destination.

2. One shift out of and back into PARK per drive cycle is needed for the vehicle to turn off when the driver exits. 

3. Completing all these actions (in any order) will prompt your vehicle to turn off: 

– Taking your foot off the brake 

– Unbuckling your seat belt 

– Opening the driver’s door  

Method 2:

1. Tap the Vehicle Off icon in the center display. 

Using Keep Vehicle On

Here’s how to keep your vehicle running during brief situations when you need to exit the vehicle:

1. While in PARK, tap the Keep Vehicle On icon (an image of a car in front of a clock) in your center display. This icon is only visible and available when the vehicle is in PARK.

– Intended use requires the driver to stay close enough to monitor activity around the vehicle  

2. You’ll see a pop-up on the screen showing how long your vehicle will remain on.  

– The pop-up will remind you to make sure you have enough charge for that approximate amount of time
