Starting the diesel engine
To start the diesel engine when the
engine is cold, it has to be pre-heat-
ed before starting the engine and
then have to be warmed up before
starting to drive.
Vehicle with automatic transmission:
1. Always carry the smart key with
you.
2. Make sure the parking brake is
applied.
3. Make sure the shift button is in P
(Park).
4. Depress the brake pedal.
5. Press the Engine Start/Stop but-
ton.
6. Continue depressing the brake
pedal until the glow indicator light
(
) goes out.
7. When the glow indicator light (
)
goes out, the engine will start.
If the Engine Start/Stop button is
pressed while the engine is pre-
heating, the engine may start.
Starting and stopping the engine
for turbocharger intercooler
1. Do not race or accelerate the
engine immediately after starting
the engine.
If the engine is cold, idle for sever-
al seconds before sufficient lubri-
cation is ensured in the turbo
charger unit.
2. After high speed or extended driv-
ing that requires heavy engine
load, idle the engine about 1
minute before turning the engine
off. This idle time will allow the tur-
bocharger to cool prior to shutting
the engine off.
Do not turn off the engine immedi-
ately after it has been subjected to
a heavy load. Doing so may cause
severe damage to the engine or
turbo charger unit.
To prevent damage to the vehicle:
• If the engine stalls while you are
in motion, do not attempt to
move the shift button to the P
(Park) position.
If traffic and road conditions
permit, you may put the shift
button 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.
• Do not push or tow your vehicle
to start the engine.
