Starting the engine
✽✽
NOTICE - Kick down switch
If your vehicle is equipped with a
kick down switch in the accelerator
pedal, it prevents you from driving
at full throttle unintentionally by
making the driver require increased
effort to depress the accelerator
pedal. However, if you depress the
pedal more than approximately
80%, the accelerator pedal can be
depressed down further to full throt-
tle. This is not a malfunction but a
normal condition.
1.Carry the smart key or leave it
inside the vehicle.
2.Make sure the parking brake is
firmly applied.
3.Place the shift lever in the P (Park)
position.
4.Press the ENGINE START/STOP
button while depressing the brake
pedal.
It should be started without depress-
ing the accelerator pedal.
5.Do not wait for the engine to warm
up while the vehicle remains sta-
tionary.
Start driving at moderate engine
speeds. (Steep accelerating and
decelerating should be avoided.)
WARNING
Never press the ENGINE START/
STOP button while the vehicle is
in motion. This would result in
loss of directional control and
braking function, which could
cause an accident.
WARNING - Proper
footwear
Always wear appropriate shoes
when operating your vehicle.
Unsuitable shoes (high heels,
ski boots, sandals, etc.) may
interfere with your ability to use
the brake and accelerator pedal.
The inability to properly operate
the pedals could result in seri-
ous injuries or death.
