STARTING THE ENGINE
The motor is normally started in
"ELECTRIC" operating mode.
Under the following conditions, however,
the heat engine may be used:

when the temperature of the hybrid
system is too high (approx. 50°C) or
too low (approx. -10°C);

when the high-voltage battery charge
level is too low.
ENGINE STARTING PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:

turn the ignition device to the RUN
position;

engage the electric parking brake and
place the automatic transmission lever
in neutral (N) or "Park" (P);

fully depress brake pedal and hold it
down;

move the ignition device to the START
position: if the procedure has been
carried out correctly, you can start
driving;

the READY warning light will be
displayed on the instrument panel
when the car is ready to move. As
long as the READY light is displayed
on the instrument panel, it does not
matter whether the heat engine is
started or not, the vehicle's propulsion
is always available;

while holding down the brake pedal,
position the automatic transmission
lever to the gear position (D);

release the brake pedal and press the
accelerator pedal;

press the accelerator pedal to start

heat engine is off.

electric motor while driving in electric
mode;
