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 convertor 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 laptop bag), games console etc. Keep
the Smart key clear of such devices when
attempting Keyless entry or Keyless starting.
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 298, DRIVER CONTROLS.
Note: For vehicles with a diesel engine, the
delay period before cranking begins will be
longer in low ambient temperatures due to
extended glow plug operation. During this
extended delay the brake pedal must
remain pressed.
Once the engine has started, the brake pedal
can be released if it is safe to do so.
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
While the vehicle is stationary:
1. Make sure Park (P) is selected for vehicles
with an automatic transmission or neutral
for a manual transmission vehicle. Apply
the parking brake.
2. Press and release the engine START/STOP
button.
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, Engine Stop Button Pressed is
displayed in the Message centre.
SWITCHING ON THE IGNITION
To switch on the ignition without starting the
engine:
1. Make sure the brake pedal is not pressed
and a valid Smart key is inside the vehicle.
2. Press and hold the engine START/STOP
button until the warning lamps illuminate
in the Instrument panel. See 298, DRIVER
CONTROLS.
3. Release the engine START/STOP button.
If the brake pedal is applied when the
engine START/STOP button is pressed,
the engine will start.
ROLLING RE-START
Note: The engine START/STOP button will be
inhibited for 2 seconds after the engine has
been switched off.
