Unintended vehicle movement
Never leave the smart key in the vehicle with children or vehicle occupants who are unfamiliar with the vehicle operation. Pushing the START/STOP button while the smart key is in the vehicle may result in unintended vehicle activation and/or unintended vehicle movement.
If the battery is weak or the smart key does not work correctly, you can start the vehicle by pressing the START/STOP button with the smart key.
The side with the lock button should contact the START/STOP button directly.
When you press the START/STOP button directly with the smart key, the smart key should contact the button at a right angle.
When the stop lamp fuse is blown, you can't start the vehicle normally. Replace the fuse with a new one. If it is not possible, you can start the vehicle by pressing the START/STOP button for 10 seconds while it is in the ACC position. The vehicle can start without depressing the brake pedal. But for your safety always depress the brake pedal before starting the vehicle.
Do not press the START/STOP button for more than 10 seconds except when the stop lamp fuse is blown.
