Start engine

The engine is started using the remote control
key and the ignition dial in the tunnel console.
Ignition dial in the tunnel console.
The remote control key is not physically used
when starting the engine since the car is equip-
ped with support for keyless starting (Passive
Start).
To start the engine:
1. The remote control key must be inside the
car. For cars with Passive Start, the key
needs to be located in the front part of the
passenger compartment. With the keyless
locking/unlocking option (Passive Entry*),
the key can be anywhere in the car.
STARTING AND DRIVING
2. Make sure that gear position P or N is
selected.
3. Depress the brake pedal fully
4. Turn the ignition dial to START and release
it. The control automatically returns to its
starting position.
When the engine is started the starter motor
works until the engine is started or until its over-
heating protection triggers.
When starting the engine in normal conditions
the car's electric drive motor is prioritised - the
petrol engine remains switched off. This means
that after the ignition dial has been turned
towards START, the electric motor has "started"
and the car is ready to drive. A started motor is
indicated by the driver display's indicator lamps
extinguishing and its preset theme illuminating.
However, there are situations where the petrol
engine is started instead, e.g. in the event of the
temperature being too low or if the hybrid battery
needs charging.
