DRIVINGDRIVING
Starting to Drive
The keyless access system allows simple push-button start.
n
Before Starting the Engine
Check

that the parking brake is applied (pull up on the switch
and look for the indicator light), then depress the brake pedal.
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when starting the
engine.
The engine will be harder to start in cold weather and in
thinner air found at altitudes above 8,000 feet (2,400
m). When starting the engine in cold weather, turn off all
electrical accessories such as the lights, climate control
system, and rear defogger in order to reduce battery drain.
The vehicle will not start if the High Voltage battery
temperature drops below -4F (-20C). Plan your driving and
storage appropriately if you expect this to happen.
Brake pedal
n Changing the Power Mode
Accessory
or On mode: Press the ENGINE START/STOP
button once without pressing the accelerator pedal for
Accessory mode. Press it again for On mode.
Starting the power system: Make sure the parking brake
is applied. Then, press the brake pedal while you press
the ENGINE START/STOP button once. Do not press the
accelerator.
•
When IDS is in QUIET mode: Whether the engine starts
depends on the

engine temperature and the charge in the
High Voltage batteries.
•
When IDS is in SPORT mode: The engine

will start.
Turning the power system off: Select Park (P), then press
the ENGINE START/STOP button.

Keyless Access Remote Battery Strength
If the battery life in your keyless access remote is weak, a
message appears in the driver information interface with
information on how to start the engine.
Touch the back of the keyless access remote to the ENGINE
START/STOP button while the indicator is flashing.
With the brake pedal pressed, press the ENGINE START/STOP
button within 10 seconds.
Emergency Power System Off
The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to turn off the power system due to an
emergency situation even while driving. If you must turn off the power system, choose one of
the following operations:
Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for two seconds,
OR
Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button three times.
Turning off the engine disables the power assist to the steering and braking systems. Thus,
it will require significantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow the vehicle.
Downshift gears and use both feet on the brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the vehicle and stop
immediately in a safe place.
Once the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the gear position automatically changes to (P) and
the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.
Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the engine to be
switched off.

Event Data Recorders
This

vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR
is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment
or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems
performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety
systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle
is designed to record such data as:
How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes
and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data
(e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as
