Driving your vehicle

E040300AHM-EU

Starting the engine with a smart
key (if equipped)

1. Carry the smart key or leave it inside

the vehicle.

2. Make sure the parking brake is firmly

applied

3. Place the transmission shift lever in P

(Park).

4. Press the ENGINE START/STOP but-

ton while depressing the brake pedal.

5. In extremely cold weather (below -

18°C/0°F) or after the vehicle has not
been operated for several days, let the
engine warm up without depressing
the accelerator.

Whether the engine is cold or warm, it
should be started without depressing the
accelerator.

• Even if the smart key is in the vehicle,

if it is far away from you, the engine
may not start.

• When the ENGINE START/STOP but-

ton is in the ACC position or above, if
any door is opened, the system checks
for the smart key. If the smart key is not
in the vehicle, the "KEY OUT" indicator
will blink or the warning "Key is not in
vehicle" will illuminate on the LCD dis-
play. And if all doors are closed, the
chime will sound for 5 seconds. The
indicator or warning will turn off while
the vehicle is moving. Always have the
smart key with you.

WARNING

The engine will start, only when the
smart key is in the vehicle.
Never allow children or any person
who is unfamiliar with the vehicle
touch the ENGINE START/STOP
button or related parts.

CAUTION

If the engine stalls while the vehicle
is in motion, do not attempt to move
the shift lever to the P (Park) posi-
tion. If the traffic and road condi-
tions 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.
