Driving your vehicle
(Steep accelerating and deceler -
ating should be avoided.)
Starting and stopping the engine
for turbocharger intercooler
1. Do not race or accelerate the
engine immediately after start -
ing.
If the engine is cold, idle for sev -
eral seconds before sufficient
lubrication is ensured in the tur -
bocharger unit.
2. After high speed or extended
driving, requiring a heavy engine
load, idle the engine about 1 min -
ute before turning it off.
This idle time will allow the turbo -
charger to cool prior to shutting
the engine off.
CAUTION
Do not turn the engine off immedi -
ately after it has been subjected to
a heavy load. Doing so may cause
severe damage to the engine or tur -
bocharger unit.
Starting the engine with smart key
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 but -
ton is in the ACC position or above, if
any door is opened, the system
checks for the smart key. If the
smart key is not in the vehicle, the
"
" indicator and a message "Key
5
16
ENGINE START/STOP button
is not in the vehicle" will appear on
the instrument cluster and LCD win -
dow. And if all doors are closed, the
chime will sound for 5 seconds. The
indicator or warning will turn off
while the vehicle is moving. Always
have the smart key with you.
WARNING
The engine will start, only when the
smart key is in the vehicle. Never
allow children or any person who is
unfamiliar with the vehicle touch the
ENGINE START/STOP button or
related parts. Pushing the ENGINE
START/STOP button while the smart
key is in the vehicle may result in
unintended engine activation and/or
unintended vehicle movement.
CAUTION
If the engine stalls while the vehicle
is in motion, do not attempt to
move the shift lever to the P (Park)
position. If the traffic and road con -
ditions permit, you may put the
shift lever in the N (Neutral) position
while the vehicle is still moving and
press the ENGINE START/STOP but -
ton in an attempt to restart the
engine.
