STARTING THE ENGINE
Never start the engine, or leave
it running, when the vehicle is in
an enclosed space. Exhaust gases
are poisonous and can cause
unconsciousness and death if
inhaled.
If the engine fails to start, do not
continue cranking, as this will
discharge the battery. It may also
damage the catalytic converter due
to unburnt fuel passing through the
exhaust.
Note: The Smart key may not be detected
if it is placed within a metal container, or
if it is shielded by a device with a back-lit
LCD screen, such as a smart phone, laptop
(including when inside a laptop bag),
games console, etc. Keep the Smart key
clear of such devices when attempting
Keyless entry or Keyless start backup.
To start the engine:
1. Make sure a valid Smart key is inside
the vehicle.
2. Make sure Park (P) or Neutral (N) is
selected.
3. Automatic transmission: Press the
brake pedal firmly.
Manual transmission: Press the clutch
pedal firmly.
4. Press and release the engine START/
STOP button. See 304, DRIVER
CONTROLS.
Note: For vehicles with a diesel engine,
the delay period before cranking begins
will be longer in low ambient
temperatures. This is due to extended
glow plug operation. During this extended
delay, the brake pedal (automatic
transmission) or clutch pedal (manual
transmission) must remain firmly pressed.
Once the engine starts, release the brake
pedal (automatic transmission) or clutch
pedal (manual transmission), if it is safe to
do so.
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
To switch off the engine while the vehicle
is stationary:
1. Apply the Electric Parking Brake (EPB).
2. Mark sure that Park (P) (automatic
transmission) or Neutral (N) (manual
transmission) is selected.
3. Press and release the engine START/
STOP button.
The engine now stops, but the vehicle's
ignition system remains on.
To switch off the engine while the vehicle
is moving:
It is not advisable to switch off the
engine while the vehicle is moving.
However, if a situation arises where
engine switch off is urgent, the
following procedure applies:
1. Press and hold the engine START/
STOP button for longer than 2
seconds, or
2. Press and release the engine START/
STOP button twice within 3 seconds.
With either method, the message Engine
Stop Button Pressed is displayed in the
Message centre.
SWITCHING ON THE IGNITION
To switch on the vehicle's ignition system
without starting the engine:
1. Automatic transmission: Make sure
that a valid Smart key is inside the
vehicle, and that the brake pedal is not
pressed.
