IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
(e) Starting the engine after a
battery discharge
With smart entry and start system
only—
In the event that the battery is dis-
charged, the engine may not restart
even after the battery is recharged or
replaced. For safety reasons, the engine
may be disabled when battery voltage
is extremely low. If the engine is dis-
abled, the start system must be normal-
ized.
To normalize the start system:
1. On vehicles with automatic transmis-
sion or Multidrive, shift the shift lever
to the "P" position.
2. Set the "ENGINE START STOP" switch
off.
3. Open and close any of the doors.
4. Start the engine.
