Introduction

Some warning lights will briefly illuminate. SeeWarning lights and
chimesin theInstrument Clusterchapter for more information
regarding the warning lights.
Starting the vehicle
1. Turn the key to 3 (on) without
turning the key to 4 (start). If there
is difficulty in turning the key,
rotate the steering wheel until the
key turns freely. This condition may
occur when:
•the front wheels are turned
•a front wheel is against the curb
2. Turn the key to 4 (start), then release the key.
After releasing the key from the 4
(start) position, a vehicle symbol
(called the Ready Indicator Light)
will illuminate in the instrument
cluster to indicate the vehicle is
ready to drive. This light will remain on while the vehicle is on, whether
the engine is running or not, to indicate the vehicle is capable of
movement (using its electric motor, engine, or both). The vehicle’s
computer will determine if an engine start is required at key-on. The
engine will start if it is necessary for cabin heating or windshield defrost.
The engine will also be started when ambient temperatures are low.
Note:The vehicle may be turned off at any time by turning the key to
the off position.
3. Once the “Ready Indicator Light” is on, apply the brake, shift into gear
and drive.
Note:After the engine has started the first time, it may stop running to
conserve fuel after it is warmed-up and the battery is sufficiently
charged.
Note:If the vehicle does not start, put the gearshift lever into P (Park),
turn the ignition off, then attempt to start the vehicle again. If the
vehicle still does not start, it may require refueling, jump starting, or
service. For information on jump starting the vehicle, refer to theJump
starting your vehiclesection found in theRoadside Emergencies
chapter.
