Before Starting the Engine - Automatic Transmission

  1. Make sure the parking brake is applied.

    The parking brake indicator (red) comes on for 30 seconds when you pull up the electric parking brake switch.

    The parking brake must be applied to start the engine.

  2. Depress the brake pedal.

    Although it is possible to start the vehicle in Neutral with the parking brake applied, it is safer to start it in Park.

  3. Press the ENGINE START/STOP button without depressing the accelerator pedal.
