• 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 button is

smart key. If the smart key is not in
the vehicle, the warning, "Key is not
in vehicle" will come on, and if all

sound for about 5 seconds. The indi-
cator will turn off while the vehicle is
moving. Keep the smart key in the

the "READY" symbol on the instru-
ment cluster will turn on. For more

ECONOMICAL and SAFE OPERA-
TION of Hybrid system
• Drive smoothly.Accelerate at a moder-
ate rate and maintain a steady cruising
speed. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts.
Don't race between stoplights.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible.
Always maintain a safe distance from
other vehicles so you can avoid unnec-
essary braking. This also reduces
brake wear.
• The regenerative brake generates
energy when the vehicle decelerates.
• When the hybrid battery power is low,
the hybrid system automatically
recharges the hybrid battery.
• When the engine runs in "N" position,
the hybrid system can not generate
electricity. The hybrid battery cannot
recharge in "N" position. Please check
Chapter 5.
