Starting to Drive
The keyless access system allows simple push-button start.
n Before Starting the Engine
Check that the parking brake is applied (pull up on the switch
and look for the indicator light), then depress the brake pedal.
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when starting the
engine.
The engine will be harder to start in cold weather and in
thinner air found at altitudes above 8,000 feet (2,400
m). When starting the engine in cold weather, turn off all
electrical accessories such as the lights, climate control
system, and rear defogger in order to reduce battery drain.
The vehicle will not start if the High Voltage battery
temperature drops below -4F (-20C). Plan your driving and
storage appropriately if you expect this to happen.
n Changing the Power Mode
Accessory or On mode: Press the ENGINE START/STOP
button once without pressing the accelerator pedal for
Accessory mode. Press it again for On mode.
Starting the power system: Make sure the parking brake
is applied. Then, press the brake pedal while you press
the ENGINE START/STOP button once. Do not press the
accelerator.
• When IDS is in QUIET mode: Whether the engine starts
depends on the engine temperature and the charge in the
High Voltage batteries.
• When IDS is in SPORT mode: The engine will start.
Turning the power system off: Select Park (P), then press
the ENGINE START/STOP button.
