Driving

Start the car

To start the car:

  1. Make sure a valid key is inside the car. If you have used a NFC card to unlock the car, make sure the card is placed on the induction area in the center console.
    Note
    Remove the card from the induction area after starting the car to avoid damage to the card.
  2. Depress the brake pedal.
  3. Shift the car to D or R. The selected gear Gear indicator on the driver display is shown on the driver display.
  4. The car can now be driven.
    Note
    If the car is in D or R, the car starts driving forward or backward when the brake pedal is released.
Note
When using the digital key, make sure that a Bluetooth connection is established between the phone and the car before trying to start the car. For more information, see Digital key.

Before driving

Before driving, make sure to adjust the driver seat, the steering wheel, the head-up display, and the mirrors, for safety and optimal comfort. See Seating recommendations for more information on proper seating position.

New journey after locking

If you stop and lock your car, and return to your car after more than 8 minutes, the car considers the next journey a new journey. This means that any function active by default for each journey is reactivated if it was previously disabled.

This also means that if you stop and lock your car, and return to your car within 8 minutes, any function that was previously disabled remains disabled, except for the door open warning and the rear cross traffic alert functions. These functions are always reactivated after the car has been stopped and locked.

Note
We recommend: Make sure that your preferred functions are active before driving.
Note
If an alcohol interlock is installed, it must be used according to the manufacturer's instructions and the information on the driver display before the car can be driven. See Alcohol interlock for more information.
