Start/Stop Engine
▼ Emergency Operation for Starting
the Engine
If the KEY warning indication (red) is
displayed, or the push button start
indicator light (amber) flashes, this could
indicate that the engine may not start using

occurs, the engine can be force-started.

necessary for starting the engine such as
having the key in the cabin, and
depressing the clutch pedal (manual
