Driving your vehicle
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Carry the smart key or leave it
inside the vehicle.
2. Make sure the parking brake is
firmly applied.
3. Place the shift lever in the P(Park)
position.
4. Press the engine start/stop button
while depressing the brake pedal.
It should be started without
depressing the accelerator.
5. Do not wait for the engine to warm
up while the vehicle remains sta-
tionary.
Start driving at moderate engine
speeds. (Steep accelerating and
decelerating should be avoided.)
• Even if the smart key is in the vehi-
cle, if it is far away from you, the
engine may not start.
• When the engine start/stop button
is in the ACC or above, if any door
is opened, the system checks for
the smart key. If the smart key is
not in the vehicle, the warning,
"Key not in vehicle" will illuminate
on the LCD display. And if all doors
are closed, the chime will sound for
about 5 seconds. The indicator will
turn off while the vehicle is moving.
Keep the smart key in the vehicle,
when using the ACC position or if
the vehicle engine is on.
WARNING
The engine will start, only when
the smart key is in the vehicle.
Never allow children or any per-
son who is unfamiliar with the
vehicle to touch the engine
start/stop button or related
parts.
CAUTION
If the engine stalls while you are
in motion, do not attempt to
move the shift lever to the P
(Park) position. If traffic and
road conditions permit, you may
put the shift lever in the
N(Neutral) position while the
vehicle is still moving and press
the engine start/stop button in
an attempt to restart the engine.
WARNING
• Always wear appropriate
shoes when operating your
vehicle. Unsuitable shoes (high
heels, ski boots, etc.) may
interfere with your ability to
use the brake and accelerator
pedal.
• Do not start the vehicle with the
accelerator pedal depressed.
The vehicle can move and
lead to an accident.
• Wait until the engine rpm is nor-
mal. The vehicle may suddenly
move if the brake pedal is
released when the rpm is high.
