On hybrid and combustion cars:
To start the engine, press down the brake pedal and turn the START knob to the right. To stop the car, put the car in park by pressing P and turn the START knob to the right again.
On electric cars:
There is no start and stop button. Simply press the brake pedal and follow the instructions on the dashboard.
Doesn't your car start?
No problem; see suggestions on what to do in the list below:
The car's electric drive motor is always prioritized, so it can be very quiet at startup; therefore, try holding down the brake pedal and shifting to D or R to ensure that the car has started properly.
If the engine hasn't started after 3 attempts, wait 3 minutes before trying again. The starting ability increases if the starter battery is allowed to recover.
The car can’t be started if the hybrid battery is empty. Please double-check the car’s charging status.
The car cannot be started if the charging cable is still plugged in. Be sure to remove the charging cable and close the charging port before starting the car.
