STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Carry the smart key or leave it
inside the vehicle.
2. Make sure the parking brake is
firmly applied.
3. Place the shift lever in the P(Park)
position.
4. Depress the brake pedal.
5. Press the Engine Start/Stop
Button.
It should be started without
depressing the accelerator.
6. Do not wait for the engine to warm
up while the vehicle remains sta-
tionary.
Start driving at moderate engine
speeds. (Steep accelerating and
decelerating should be avoided.)
• Even if the smart key is in the vehi-
cle, if it is far away from you, the
engine may not start.
• When the Engine Start/Stop
Button is in the ACC or ON posi-
tion, if any door is open, the sys-
tem checks for the smart key. If the
smart key is not in the vehicle, the
warning, "Key not in vehicle" will
come on, and if all doors are
closed, the chime will also sound
for about 5 seconds. The indicator
will turn off while the vehicle is
moving. Keep the smart key in the
vehicle when using the ACC posi-
tion or if the vehicle engine is on.
WARNING
Always wear appropriate shoes
when operating your vehicle.
Unsuitable shoes (high heels,
slippers, ski boots, etc.) may
interfere with your ability to use
the brake and accelerator pedal.
WARNING
The engine will start by press-
ing the Engine Start/Stop
Button, only when the smart key
is in the vehicle. Never allow
children or any person who is
unfamiliar with the vehicle to
touch the Engine Start/Stop
Button or related parts.
CAUTION
If the engine stalls while you are
in motion, do not attempt to
move the shift lever to the P
(Park) position. If traffic and
road conditions permit, you may
put the shift lever in the
N(Neutral) position while the
vehicle is still moving and press
the Engine Start/Stop Button in
an attempt to restart the engine.
