Starting and stopping the engine
for turbocharger intercooler
1. Do not race or accelerate the
engine immediately after starting.
If the engine is cold, idle for several
seconds to ensure sufficient
lubrication in the turbocharger
unit.
2. After high speed or extended driving,
requiring a heavy engine load,
idle the engine about 1 minute
before turning it off.
This idle time will allow the turbocharger
to cool prior to shutting
the engine off.
CAUTION
Do not turn the engine off immediately
after it has been subjected
to a heavy load. Doing so
may cause severe damage to
the engine or turbocharger unit.
Starting the engine with smart key
- Even if the smart key is in the vehicle,
if it is far away from you, the
engine may not start.
- When the engine start/stop button
is in the ACC position or above, if
any door is opened, the system
checks for the smart key. If the
smart key is not in the vehicle, the
“” indicator and a message
“Key is not in the vehicle” will appear
on the instrument cluster and LCD
window. And if all doors are closed,
the chime will sound for 5 seconds.
The indicator or warning will turn off
while the vehicle is moving. Always
have the smart key with you.
WARNING
The engine will start only when
the smart key is in the vehicle.
Never allow children or any person
who is unfamiliar with the
vehicle touch the engine
start/stop button or related
parts. Pushing the engine
start/stop button while the
smart key is in the vehicle may
result in unintended engine
activation and/or unintended
vehicle movement.
CAUTION
If the engine stalls while the
vehicle is in motion, do not
attempt to move the shift lever
to the P (Park) position. If the
traffic and road conditions permit,
you may put the shift lever
in the N (Neutral) position while
the vehicle is still moving and
press the engine start/stop button
in an attempt to restart the
engine.

key does not work correctly, you
can start the engine by pressing
the engine start/stop button with
the smart key.
The side with the lock button

start/stop button directly. When
you press the engine start/stop
button directly with the smart key,
the smart key should contact the
button at a right angle.

you cannot start the engine normally.
