disconnecting the charger cables to the battery.
■ After recharging/reconnecting the batt ery (vehicles with a smart entry
& start system)

possible immediately after reconnecti ng the battery. If this happens, use
the wireless remote control or the mechanical key to lock/unlock the

SORY mode. The engine may not start with the “ENGINE START STOP”
switch turned off. However, the engine will operate normally from the sec-
ond attempt.
