Starting the engine
When starting the engine, press the foot
brake at the same time. The engine can
only be started with the foot brake pressed.
The gear display shows "N". If the foot
brake is not operated, the control indicator
j
lights and "N" flashes in the gear
display, and the engine cannot be started.
Also the vehicle cannot be started if all
brake lights have failed.
There is no need to select neutral before
starting the engine. If a gear is engaged,
the transmission automatically switches to
neutral (N) before the engine starts when
the foot brake is operated. This can lead to
a slight delay in the starting process.
