Starting the engine

WARNING

  • Do not start the vehicle with the accelerator pedal engaged. The vehicle can move and lead to an accident.

  • Wait until the engine rpm is normal. The vehicle may suddenly move if the brake pedal is released when the rpm is high.

  1. Make sure the smart key is located inside the vehicle and close the driver seat. The vehicle may not start if it is not located near the driver seat.

  2. Make sure the parking brake is applied.

  3. Make sure the shift lever is in P (Park).

    Press the brake pedal fully.

    You can also start the engine when the shift lever is in the N (Neutral) position.

  4. Press the ENGINE START/STOP button.

    Make sure that the accelerator pedal is not pressed.

  5. Do not wait for the engine to warm up while the vehicle remains stationary. Start driving at moderate engine speeds. (Steep accelerating and decelerating should be avoided.)
