Driving your vehicle
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 gear to the P (Park) posi-
tion. If the traffic and road condi-
tions permit, you may put the gear
in the N (Neutral) position while the
vehicle is still moving and press the
ENGINE START/STOP button in an
attempt to restart the engine.
NOTICE
If the battery is weak or the
smart key does not work cor-
rectly, you can start the engine by
pressing the ENGINE START/STOP
button with the smart key.
When you press the ENGINE
START/STOP button directly with
the smart key, the smart key
should contact the button at a
right angle.
