ENGINE
Note:
You can only operate the starter for
a limited period, for example 10 seconds.
The number of start attempts is limited to
approximately six. If you exceed this limit,
the system does not allow you to try again
until some time has elapsed, for example
30 minutes.
When you start the engine, the idle speed
increases, this helps to warm up the
engine. If the engine idle speed does not
slow down automatically, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.
Before starting the engine, check the
following:
• Make sure all occupants have fastened
their safety belts.
• Make sure the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off.
• Make sure to set the parking brake.
• Move the transmission selector lever
to position P (automatic transmission)
or neutral (manual transmission).
• Turn the ignition key to position C. If
your vehicle is equipped with a keyless
ignition, see the following instructions.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WARNINGS
Always set the parking brake fully
and make sure the gearshift is
latched in P (Park). Turn the ignition
to the off position and remove the key
whenever you leave your vehicle. Do not apply the brake and
accelerator pedals simultaneously
for more than three seconds as this
limits engine rpm and labors the
transmission. This may result in difficulty
maintaining speed in traffic and could lead
to serious injury. Note:
When you switch the ignition off, the
transmission will carry out a series of checks.
You may hear slight clicking sounds. This is
normal.
We have designed your vehicle to improve
fuel economy by reducing fuel usage
compared to a traditional torque converter
automatic transmission. When you take
your foot off the accelerator pedal and
your vehicle begins to slow down, this can
feel like a light to medium braking
sensation.
Selector Lever Positions WARNING
You must press the brake pedal to
apply the brakes before moving the
transmission selector lever. Failure
to keep the brakes applied until you are
ready to move off may lead to an accident
or injury. ParkP

The system makes it easier to pull away
when your vehicle is on a slope without the
need to use the parking brake.
When the system is active, your vehicle will
remain stationary on the slope for two to
three seconds after you release the brake
pedal. This allows you time to move your
foot from the brake to the accelerator
pedal. The brakes release automatically
when the engine has sufficient torque to
prevent your vehicle from rolling down the
grade. This is an advantage when pulling
away on a slope, (for example from a car
park ramp, traffic lights or when reversing
uphill into a parking space).
The system will activate automatically on
any slope which can result in significant
vehicle rollback.
Using Hill Start Assist
1. Press the brake pedal to bring your
vehicle to a complete standstill. Keep
the brake pedal pressed.
2. If the sensors detect that your vehicle is on a slope, the system will be
activated automatically.
3. When you remove your foot from the brake pedal, your vehicle will remain
on the slope without rolling away for
approximately two or three seconds.
This hold time will automatically be
extended if you are in the process of
driving off.
4. Drive off in the normal manner. The brakes will be released automatically.
Note: Do not drive with your foot resting on
the clutch pedal or use the clutch pedal to
hold your vehicle at a standstill while
waiting on a hill. These actions will reduce
the life of the clutch.
Note: Do not use the accelerator to hold
your vehicle at a standstill while waiting on
a hill. This will overheat the transmission. Switching the System On and Off
Note:
The system can only be switched on
and off for manual transmissions.
Note: Once you have switched off the
system, it will remain off until you switch it
on again.
Your vehicle comes with the system
already enabled. If desired, you can disable
the feature: See (page 84).
