GENERAL INFORMATION
Condensation in Lamp Assemblies
Exterior lamps have vents to
accommodate normal changes in air
pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-product
of this design. When moist air enters the
lamp assembly through the vents, there is
a possibility that condensation can occur
when the temperature is cold. When
normal condensation occurs, a fine mist
can form on the interior of the lens. The
fine mist eventually clears and exits
through the vents during normal operation.
Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours
under dry weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
•
The presence of a fine mist (no streaks,
drip marks or large droplets).
• A fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens.
Examples of unacceptable condensation
are:
• A water puddle inside the lamp.
• Streaks, drip marks or large droplets
present on the interior of the lens.
If you see any unacceptable condensation,
have your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer.
Dark Car Feature (If Equipped)
The Dark Car feature may disable the
following features:
• Welcome/farewell strategy.
• Courtesy lighting.
• Daytime running lamps.
Note: In markets where daytime running
lamps are mandated by law, the Dark Car
feature does not disable the daytime
running lamps. Switching the Backlighting Off
The Dark Car feature allows you to switch
the cabin backlighting off, this state can
be reached by:
1.
Switch the lighting control to the lamps
off position.
2. Use the instrument lighting dimmer switch to lower the brightness to off.

Note:
You can crank the engine for a total
of 60 seconds without the engine starting
before the starting system temporarily
disables. The 60 seconds does not have to
be all at once. For example, if you crank the
engine three times for 20 seconds each
time, without the engine starting, you
reached the 60-second time limit. A
message appears in the information display
alerting you that you exceeded the cranking
time. You cannot attempt to start the
engine for at least 15 minutes. After 15
minutes, you are limited to a 15-second
engine cranking time. You need to wait 60
minutes before you can crank the engine for
60 seconds again.
Before starting your vehicle, check the
following:
• Make sure all occupants have fastened
their safety belts.
• Make sure the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off.

first try, wait for a short period and try again.
Failure to Start
If you cannot start the engine after three
attempts, wait 10 seconds and follow this
procedure:
1. Fully depress the brake pedal.
2. Shift into park (P). 3.
Fully depress the accelerator pedal and
hold it there.
4. Start the engine.
Stopping the Engine When Your

3. Apply the parking brake.
Stopping the Engine When Your
Vehicle is Moving WARNING:
Switching off the
engine when the vehicle is still moving
will result in a loss of brake and steering
assistance. The steering will not lock, but
higher effort will be required. When the
ignition is switched off, some electrical
circuits, including air bags, warning lamps
and indicators may also be off. If the
ignition was turned off accidentally, you
can shift into neutral (N) and re-start the
engine.
1. Shift into neutral and use the brakes to
bring your vehicle to a safe stop.
2. When your vehicle has stopped, shift into park (P) and turn the key to
position
0.
3. Apply the parking brake.
Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes WARNING:
If you smell exhaust
fumes inside your vehicle, have your

fumes. Take precautions to avoid its
dangerous effects.

engine idling for long periods, we
recommend that you do one of the
following:
•
Open the windows at least 1 in
(2.5 cm).
• Set your climate control to outside air.
STARTING A HYBRID
ELECTRIC VEHICLE SYSTEM
Before starting your vehicle, check the
following:
• Make sure all occupants fasten their
seatbelt.
• Make sure the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off.

(P).
Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
1. Turn the key to position III to start your
vehicle.
Note: The green READY indicator
illuminates letting you know that your
vehicle is ready for driving. Since your vehicle
comes with a silent key start, the engine
may not start when your vehicle starts. See
Hybrid Vehicle Operation
(page 123).
When the engine starts for the first time
on your drive, the idle speed increases, this
helps to warm up the engine. If the engine
idle speed does not slow down, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.
If you are unable to start your vehicle, do
the following:
1. Fully press the brake pedal.
2. Shift into park (P).
3. Fully press the accelerator pedal and hold it there. 4.
Turn the key to position III to start your

2. Turn the key to position
0.
3. Apply the parking brake.
Switching Off Your Vehicle When
It Is Moving WARNING:
Do not switch off your
vehicle when it is moving. This results in
a significant decrease in braking and
steering assistance. If the vehicle is
switched off, some electrical circuits, for
example airbags, could also turn off.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death.
1. Put the transmission into neutral (N) and use the brakes to bring your vehicle
to a safe stop.
2. When your vehicle stops, put the transmission in park (P).
3. Turn the key to position
0.
4. Apply the parking brake.
Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes WARNING:
Exhaust leaks may
result in entry of harmful and potentially
lethal fumes into the passenger
compartment. If you smell exhaust
fumes inside your vehicle, have your
vehicle inspected immediately. Do not
drive if you smell exhaust fumes.
