STARTING AND SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
The remote key is not used physically to start the engine since the
vehicle has a Passive Start system as standard equipment. The key
only has to be in the front section of the passenger compartment.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional Passive Entry system, the
remote key can be anywhere in the passenger compartment.
Start
1. Select P or N.
2. Press the brake pedal.
3. Turn the start knob to START and release it.
Selecting a gear
– Select a gear by pressing the gear selector forward or rearward and
releasing it. The selected gear will be displayed in the instrument
panel.
Park mode is activated by pressing the P button near the base of the
gear selector. Change from P mode to R or D by moving the gear
selector forward or rearward twice.
Brake mode (B) can be selected at any time during a drive to utilize
engine braking and to help charge the hybrid battery.
Switch off
– Turn the start knob to STOP and release it.
