Starting the car
The car is started using the start button
beside the steering wheel when the remote
control key is in the passenger compartment.
Start button location.
WARNING
Before starting:
•
Fasten the seatbelt.
•
Adjust the seat, steering wheel and
mirrors.
•
Make sure that the brake pedal can be
fully depressed.
The remote control key is not physically used
when starting the car since it is equipped with
support for keyless starting (Passive start).
To start the car:
IMPORTANT
The car cannot be started if the charging
cable is still engaged. Make sure the
charging cable is removed from the charg-
ing input socket before the starting the car.
1. The remote control key must be inside the
car. For cars with Passive Start, the key
needs to be located in the front part of the
passenger compartment. With the option
for keyless locking/unlocking* of the car,
the key can be anywhere in the car.
2. Hold the brake pedal depressed
1
fully. For
cars with automatic gear changing, make
sure that gear position P or N is selected.
For cars with a manual gearbox, make
sure that the gear lever is in neutral posi-
tion or that the clutch pedal is depressed.
3. Press the start button.
When the engine is started, the starter motor
works until the engine is started or until its
overheating protection triggers.
When starting in normal conditions, the car's
electric drive motor is prioritised - the petrol
engine remains switched off. This means that
after the start button has been pressed, the
electric motor has "started" and the car is
ready to move. A started car is indicated by
the driver display's indicator lamps extinguish-
ing and its preset theme illuminating.
However there are situations where the petrol
engine is started instead e.g. in the event of
the temperature being too low or if the hybrid
battery needs charging.
Error messages
If the Car key not found message is shown in
the driver display when starting, place the
remote control key by the backup reader. Then
try to start the car again.

If the car is moving, the engine can be started simply by pressing the button.
