Starting to Drive
The keyless access system allows simple push-button start.
n Before Starting the Engine
Check that the parking brake is applied (pull up on the switch
and look for the indicator light), then depress the brake pedal.
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when starting the
engine.
The engine will be harder to start in cold weather and in
thinner air found at altitudes above 8,000 feet (2,400 m).
When starting the engine in cold weather, turn off all electrical
accessories such as the lights, climate control system, and rear
defogger in order to reduce battery drain.
Due to limitations of the Lithium-ion High Voltage battery, the
minimum starting temperature for the vehicle is -4°F (-20°C).
Inability to start the vehicle and/or decreased performance is
expected if the vehicle is operated at temperatures below -4°F
(-20°C).

Changing the Power Mode
Accessory or On mode: Press the ENGINE START/STOP
button once without pressing the accelerator pedal for
Accessory mode. Press it again for On mode.
Starting the power system: Make sure the parking brake
is applied. Then, press the brake pedal while you press
the ENGINE START/STOP button once. Do not press the
accelerator.
• When the Integrated Dynamics System (IDS) is in QUIET
mode: If the High Voltage battery is fully charged, the
gasoline engine may not start. The gasoline engine starts
either according to the temperature of the engine or when
the High Voltage battery charge level is low.
• When the Integrated Dynamics System (IDS) is in SPORT
mode: Regardless of the High Voltage battery charge
level, the gasoline engine always starts. The gasoline
engine starts with a louder sound than QUIET mode.
When engine temperature or the High Voltage battery
temperatures are low or when High Voltage battery
charge level is low, gasoline engine starts at the same
sound level as QUIET mode.
Turning the power system off: Select Park (P), then press
the ENGINE START/STOP button.
