Vehicles With Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)

Vehicles with PHEV  are capable of movement without the engagement of a starter motor, and therefore require different procedures to make sure Drive 'D'  cannot be engaged.

To prevent unwanted vehicle movement, it is recommended that:

• The ignition is switched OFF and the smart key is stored at least 5m away from the vehicle. For additional information, Refer to: ELECTRIC VEHICLE SAFETY RULES .
• The charging cable is plugged in to the vehicle at all times, even when a recharge is not required.
• If the charge cable is plugged into an electrical outlet, make sure that the circuit meets local legislation and recommended practices (consult a qualified electrician for further guidance).

Before the vehicle is displayed in a showroom, the following fuses must be removed to prevent accidental function.
