Starting the hybrid system
Before starting the system, be sure to follow the instructions in
"Before starting the hybrid system".
Normal starting procedure
With your foot off the accelerator pedal, turn the key to "START"
briefly and firmly. After a few seconds, the "READY" light will
come on and a beep will sound. If the ambient temperature is
low, such as during winter driving conditions, it may take time
until the "READY" light comes on.
The engine may not start even with the "READY" light on.
