Starting a Hybrid Electric Vehicle System - Vehicles Without: Push Button Start

Before starting your vehicle, check the following:

The parking brake is on.
The transmission is in park (P).

Press the brake pedal.

Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.

Turn the key to position III.

When you start your vehicle, a green indicator illuminates in the instrument cluster letting you know that your vehicle is ready for driving. Since your vehicle is equipped with a silent key start, the engine may not start when your vehicle starts.

When the engine starts for the first time, the idle speed increases to help warm up the engine. If the idle speed does not decrease, have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.
