Driving and operation 121
If unlocking the steering wheel is
required, you can just enter the
vehicle with the legal key and press
the ENGINE START STOP switch.
In the case that the steering column
lock may be unable to be released
when it is in the wheel-deviation
forward direction, the instrument
cluster will display “Failure in locking
of electronic steering lock” and buzz
for prompt. At this time, align the
steering wheel, turn the ignition switch
at the ON position, and then switch to
the LOCK position, to make efforts to
unlock the steering wheel. If unlocking
fails, check the vehicle.
Engine Starting
Before starting the engine:

Ensure that no barriers exist
around the vehicle.

Ensure that all windows and doors
are clean and transparent.

Check whether the tire conditions
and the inflation pressure are
proper
and whether foreign
matters exist.

Adjust the seat headrest to a
proper position.

Adjust the rearview mirrors
inside/outside the vehicle.

Fasten the safety belt and ask all
passengers to fasten safety belts.

When turning the key at the ON
position, check the operating
conditions of the warning lamp and
the indicator on the instrument
panel.
