2. Place the transmitter in the transmitter pocket with the buttons facing up.

3. With the vehicle in P (Park) or N (Neutral), press the brake pedal and the ignition control. See Starting the Engine  for additional information about the vehicle's keyless ignition with pushbutton start.

Replace the transmitter battery as soon as possible.
