Your car has a keyless ENGINE START STOP switch. With a valid smart key detected in the car and the brake pedal released, each press of the switch moves the car to the next power mode.
| Mode | What it means |
|---|---|
| OFF | All electrical equipment is off. |
| ACC | Some electrical equipment can be used. |
| ON | All electrical equipment can be used. |
| START | With the car in ACC or ON, the gear selector in P and the brake pedal pressed, the switch starts the engine. |
Note:Press the switch properly – one short, firm press. A half-hearted press may not change the power mode or start the engine.
Note:Don't leave the smart key lying on the key mark in the cup holder during normal use. If its battery is healthy it can trigger confusing messages on the instrument cluster such as "Smart key not detected" or "Verify successfully, start ready".
Auto power-off
If the engine isn't running and the car is left in ON mode for 1 hour or more, it switches itself to OFF (and the gear selector moves to P). This helps, but can't fully stop the 12 V battery going flat.
Caution:Switch to OFF whenever the engine isn't running, so you don't drain the battery.
Caution:If you take the smart key out of the car while the engine is running, the engine keeps running, the anti-theft horn sounds 6 times and the cluster shows "Smart Key Not Detected".
Caution:If you switch the engine off with the gear selector in R, N or D, the car goes to ACC mode rather than OFF. Move the selector to P (the car goes to ON), then press the switch again to switch to OFF.
