DRIVER EXIT
During an auto stop the driver exit feature prevents the vehicle from being inadvertently left in a driveable condition. If the feature detects that the driver is not present, it automatically switches off the vehicle's ignition system. Once the vehicle's ignition is switched off, the vehicle can be locked, if required. See LOCK CONFIRMATION.
The driver exit feature is only active when an auto stop has taken place and the engine is not running.
If the vehicle is left in a driveable condition with the engine running, the driver exit feature does not prevent the vehicle from moving.
If Drive (D), Sport (S), or Neutral (N) is selected, the driver exit feature switches the vehicle’s ignition off when the following conditions exist:
The driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, and:
The brake pedal is released.
If Park (P) is selected, the driver exit feature switches the vehicle’s ignition off when the driver's seat belt is unbuckled.
In certain markets, the driver exit feature does not operate when P is selected.
