When you unlock the car and open the driver's door, it powers on automatically. To start, carry the smart key, press the brake pedal, and wait for the green READY indicator to stay on.
READY indicator
Note:In READY state the motor makes no sound. Always shift to P before you leave or lock the car.
Powering off
- With the car powered on, in P, driver's seat empty and all doors closed, lock the car.
- Or, in P, tap the power-off button in the control centre. Next time, the car won't power on automatically – just press the brake pedal to start.
- If the car is powered on in P with the driver's seat empty and doors closed, it powers off by itself after 90 minutes.
Caution:Don't run cold engine at high revs or under heavy load, and avoid long idling. (It is normal for the engine to rev high if the power battery is depleted and you start in Sport mode.)
Caution:Don't use electrical equipment for long with the car just powered on. If a low battery warning appears, charge or start the car so the engine can charge. If the car won't start because the power battery is badly depleted, connect a charging gun and charge it first.
