Emergency Engine Start

If the engine does not start using the normal engine starting procedure, you may be able to start it using the emergency start procedure below.
Do not use this procedure if it is not an emergency.

  1. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
  2. Check that the transmission is in P, then set the power mode to ACCESSORY.
  3. Firmly depress the brake pedal and press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for at least 15 seconds.

This should be considered a system malfunction even if you are able to start the engine using the above procedure.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer immediately.
