out pressing the accelerator. In
extremely cold weather or after the
vehicle has not been operated for
several days, let the engine warm up
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 or ON position
or turn the ignition switch to the
ACC or ON position. If any door is

is not in vehicle" will come on,
and if all doors are closed, the
chime will also sound for about 5
seconds. The indicator will turn
off while the vehicle is moving.

when using the ACC position or if
the vehicle engine is on.
If the starting procedure is fol-
lowed, the "READY" symbol on
the instrument cluster will turn on.

chapter 6.
ECONOMICAL and SAFE
OPERATION of Hybrid system
• Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a mod-
erate rate and maintain a steady
cruising speed. Don't make "jack-
rabbit" starts. Don't race between
stoplights. Avoid heavy traffic when-
ever possible. Always maintain a
safe distance from other vehicles so
you can avoid unnecessary 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 automatical-
ly recharges the hybrid battery.
• When the engine runs in "N" posi-
tion, the hybrid system cannot gen-
erate electricity. The hybrid battery
cannot recharge in "N" position.
Please refer to chapter 6.
✽✽
NOTICE
When the hybrid system is in
READY mode, the engine will auto-
matically start and stop as needed.
The "READY" symbol will illumi-
nate in the cluster when the system
is operational.
