STARTING

Power Modes

• Accessory – Press and release the power button without applying the

brake pedal. This powers your vehicle’s electrical system and the

warning lights in the instrument cluster illuminate, but the electric

motor remains off.

• Off – Press and release the power button without applying the brake

pedal when your vehicle is in accessory mode or when the electric

motor is running and the vehicle is not in motion. This position shuts

the electric motor and all electrical accessories off.

Note: In order to switch off the electric motor while the vehicle is in

motion, press and hold the power button for at least one second or press

the power button three times within two seconds. Then, shift to neutral

and use the brakes to bring the vehicle to a safe stop. After the vehicle

has stopped, shift into park.

• Start – Press the power button (for any length of time) while applying

the brake pedal. The green Ready to Drive indicator light appears in

the instrument cluster, letting you know that the vehicle is ready for

driving.
