Headlamps
NOTE l When

entering a country in which vehicles
are driven on the opposite side of the road to
the country in which your vehicles is sup-
plied, necessary measures have to be taken to
avoid dazzling oncoming traffic. However,
headlamps on this vehicle do not need any ad-
justment.
l Do not leave the lights on for a long time
while the engine is stationary (not running).
A rundown battery could result.
l When it rains, or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes foggy, but this does not indicate a func-
tional problem.
When the lamp is switched on, the heat will
remove the fog. However, if water gathers in-
side the lamp, we recommend you to have it
checked. Instruments and controls

the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) po-
sition (CVT).
2. Push the key in at the “ACC” position and keep it depressed until it is turned to the
“LOCK” position and remove it. CAUTION
l
Do
not remove the ignition key from the
ignition switch while driving. The steer-
ing wheel will be locked, causing loss of
control. CAUTION
l
If
the engine is stopped while driving, the
brake servomechanism will cease to func-
tion and braking efficiency will deterio-
rate. Also, the power steering system will
not function and it will require greater
manual effort to operate the steering.
l Do not leave the key in the “ON” position
for a long time when the engine is not run-
ning, doing so will cause the battery to be
discharged.
l Do not turn the key to the “START” posi-
tion while the engine is running. Doing so
could damage the starter motor. Steering wheel lock

the key in the vehicle when parked. Starting
E00620600214
Tips for starting l Do
not operate the starter motor continuous-
ly longer than 10 seconds; doing so could
run down the battery. If the engine does not
start, turn the ignition switch back to
“LOCK”, wait a few seconds, and then try
again. Trying repeatedly with the starter mo-
tor still turning will damage the starter mech-
anism.

clutch pedal fully depressed, the engine revo-
lutions do not rise to over 3,000 rpm in order
to protect the engine even if the accelerator
pedal is depressed. WARNING
l Never
run the engine in a closed or poor-
ly ventilated area any longer than is nee-
ded to move your vehicle in or out of the
area. Carbon monoxide gases are odour-
less and can be fatal. CAUTION
l
Never
attempt to start the engine by push-
ing or pulling the vehicle.
l Do not run the engine at high rpm or
drive the vehicle at high speed until the en-
gine has had a chance to warm up. CAUTION
l
Release
the ignition key as soon as the en-
gine starts to avoid damaging the starter
motor.

as when the rear window demister or oth-
er electrical components are operating or
the blower speed is set to a high setting.
• Battery voltage or battery performance is low
• Check engine warning lamp is illumina-
ted or the “ ”
display/indicator is blinking
l If the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system oper-
ates while the air conditioning is operating,
both the engine and the air conditioning com-
pressor will stop. Therefore, only the blower
will operate.
l If the demisting function and the Auto Stop
& Go (AS&G) system are needed at the
same time, it is recommended to set the
mode selection dial to the Foot/demister posi-
tion.
Refer to “Mode selection dial” on page
5-02.

stopped by the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G)
system. Pay attention, otherwise an unex-
pected accident might occur when the en-
gine restarts. • Vehicle speed is 3 km/h (2 mph) orhigher when coasting down a slope
• Brake booster vacuum pressure is low because the brake pedal is depressed
repeatedly or depressed harder than
usual
• Engine coolant temperature is low
• When the air conditioning is operated by pressing the air conditioning switch.
• When the preset temperature of the air conditioning is changed significant-
ly. Starting and driving
