2C_StartButton

Whenever the front door is opened, the Engine Start/Stop button illuminates and goes off for a few seconds after the door is closed.

  • To reduce risk of serious injury or death, NEVER allow children or any person who is unfamiliar with the vehicle to touch the Engine Start/Stop button or related parts. Unexpected and sudden vehicle movement can occur.

  • To turn the vehicle off in an emergency:

    Press and hold the Engine Start/Stop button for more than two seconds Or rapidly press and release the Engine Start/Stop button three times (within three seconds).

    If the vehicle is still moving, you can restart the vehicle without pressing the brake pedal by pressing the Engine Start/Stop button with the gear in the N (Neutral) position.

  • NEVER press the Engine Start/Stop button whilst the vehicle is in motion except in an emergency. This results in the vehicle turning off and loss of power assist for the steering and brake systems. This may lead to loss of directional control and braking function, which could cause an accident.

  • Before leaving the driver’s seat, always make sure the gear is in the P (Park) position, apply the parking brake, press the Engine Start/Stop button to the OFF position, and take the Smart Key with you. Unexpected vehicle movement may occur if these precautions are not followed.

  • NEVER reach through the steering wheel for the Engine Start/Stop button or any other control whilst the vehicle is in motion. The presence of your hand or arm in this area may cause a loss of vehicle control resulting in an accident.
