Starting the vehicle
To start the vehicle, turn the starter switch
to the ON position.
All warning indicators on the instrument
panel will illuminate briefly. When these
indicators extinguish and the gear selector
buttons illuminate, the vehicle is ready to
be driven.
To drive the vehicle, press the brake pedal
and then select D (Drive) or R (Reverse).
Note: If more than 45 seconds elapse
between unlocking the vehicle with the
handset and the starter switch being
turned the vehicle immobiliser will be
activated. To switch off the immobiliser,
press the handset Unlock button.
Key positions
The starter switch has the following key
positions to control the electrical circuits
and steering column lock.

When the starter switch is OFF, the P
(Park) gear is automatically selected and
the following features are operational:
• Touch screen
• All interior and exterior lights
(including trunk light and hazard
warning lights)
• Central door locking switch
• Trunk release switch
Note: When turning the key to the OFF
position, the circuits that operate in ACC
will continue to operate until the key is

In addition to the features that operate
when the starter switch is OFF, the
following features operate when the
switch is in the ACC position:
• Audio and navigation systems
• Heating and air conditioning systems
• Seat heaters
• Brake lights
• Windshield wiper and washer
• Windows
• LCD panel
ON
When the key is in the ON position, all

are operational.
PERF - Performance
Turn the key all the way forward to engage
‘Performance’ mode. When active, the
word Performance will be displayed in the
centre of the battery image on the touch
screen’s ‘Standard’ screen.
Note: You cannot select ‘Performance’
mode using the key within the first 10
seconds of starting the vehicle, or if you
are driving in Range mode with the
Battery almost fully depleted.
‘Performance’ mode should be selected
for those times you want to achieve
maximum power and hence, minimize the
time it takes to accelerate from
0-100 km/h (0-60 mph). Use this setting
with caution because it allows the Battery
to run at a higher operating temperature.
Note: Frequent use of this setting is
strongly discouraged as it will reduce the
life of the cells within the Battery.
To cancel Performance mode, turn the key
all the way forward again.
Performance mode can also be selected
or cancelled using the touch screen. For
more information, see Performance,
page 5-7 or refer to the ‘Touch Screen
Users Manual’.
