WARNING Always wear suitable footwear when driving. Improper shoes (such as high heels or ski boots) may interfere with the use of the brake and accelerator pedals.

NOTICE - Accelerator pedal stroke (optional) If the vehicle is equipped with a sudden acceleration control on the accelerator pedal, it prevents unintentional driving with the throttle fully open, as it requires the driver to apply more force when pressing the accelerator pedal. However, if the pedal is pressed to about 80%, the vehicle will be driven with the throttle fully open and the accelerator pedal will be easier to press. This is not a malfunction, but a normal condition.

Starting the gasoline engine (optional)

  1. Take the Smart key with you or leave it in the vehicle.
  2. Make sure the parking brake is fully applied.
  3. Manual transmission - Fully depress the clutch pedal and shift the gear selector to the Neutral position. When starting the engine, keep the clutch and brake pedals depressed.

Automatic transmission - Shift the gear selector to P (Park). Fully depress the brake pedal. The engine can also be started with the gear selector in N (Neutral).

  • Press the ENGINE START/STOP button.
  • When the vehicle is stationary, do not wait for the engine to warm up.

    • Start driving at moderate engine speeds.

    (Avoid sudden acceleration and braking.)

    Whether the engine is cold or warm, start it without pressing the accelerator pedal.

    Starting the diesel engine (if equipped)

    To start a cold diesel engine, first preheat it, then warm it up before driving.

    1. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
    2. Manual transmission - Fully depress the clutch pedal and shift the gear selector to the Neutral position. While pressing the ENGINE START/STOP button to the START position, keep the clutch and brake pedals fully depressed.

    1. Press the ENGINE START/STOP button while depressing the brake pedal.
    2. Keep the brake pedal pressed until the glow plug indicator turns off (about 5 seconds).
    3. The engine will start when the glow plug indicator turns off.

    NOTE If the ENGINE START/STOP button is pressed again while the engine is preheating, the engine may start.

    Starting and stopping the engine with an external turbocharger intercooler

    1. Do not rev the engine at high speed or accelerate immediately after starting it.

    If the engine is cold, let it idle for a few seconds until the turbocharger assembly receives sufficient lubrication.

  • After prolonged driving or high-speed driving under heavy engine load, let the engine idle for about 1 minute before turning it off. This allows the turbocharger to cool down before the engine is stopped.
    • CAUTION Do not turn off the engine immediately after driving under heavy load. This may cause serious damage to the engine or turbocharger assembly.
    • Even when the Smart key is in the vehicle, the engine may not start if the key is too far from the driver.
    • When the ENGINE START/STOP button is in ACC or a higher position, the system checks for the Smart key each time a door is opened. If the Smart key is not in the vehicle, the "" or "
      "(NO KEY).

    Do not allow children or unfamiliar persons to touch the ENGINE START/STOP button or related components.
