to start the vehicle manually without insert-
ing the key into the ignition lock. The key must
be in the vehicle and the start/stop button
must be inserted in the ignition lock (see "Re-
moving the start/stop button" earlier in this
section). This mode for starting the engine
operates independently of the ECO start/
stop automatic engine start function.
You can start the engine if a valid key is in the
vehicle. Switch off the engine and always
take the key with you when leaving the ve-
hicle, even if you only leave it for a short time.
Pay attention to the important safety notes.
•Depress the brake pedal and keep it de-
pressed.

NOTE
Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery discharge
and potential no-start conditions such as:
•Installation or extended use of electronic
accessories that consume battery power
when the engine is not running (Phone
chargers, GPS, DVD players, etc).
•Vehicle is not driven regularly and/or only
driven short distances.
In these cases, the battery may need to be
charged to maintain battery health.
WARNING
•Do not expose the battery to flames, an
electrical spark or a cigarette. Hydrogen
gas generated by the battery is explo-
sive. Explosive gases can cause blind-
ness or injury. Do not allow battery fluid
to contact your skin, eyes, fabrics orpainted surfaces. Sulfuric acid can cause
blindness or injury. After touching a bat-
tery or battery cap, do not touch or rub
your eyes. Thoroughly wash your hands.
If the acid contacts your eyes, skin or
clothing, immediately flush with water
for at least 15 minutes and seek medical
attention.
•Do not operate the vehicle if the fluid in
the battery is low. Low battery fluid can
cause a higher load on the battery which
can generate heat, reduce battery life,
and in some cases lead to an explosion.
•When working on or near a battery, al-
ways wear suitable eye protection and
remove all jewelry.
•Battery posts, terminals and related ac-
cessories contain lead and lead com-
pounds. Wash hands after handling.
•Keep battery out of the reach of chil-
dren.
•Do not tip the battery. Keep the vent
caps tight and the battery level.
