CAUTION
When starting the engine
Always start the engine while sitting in the driver’s seat. Do not depress the
accelerator while starting the engine under any circumstances.
Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
Stopping the engine in an emergency
If you want to stop the engine in an emergency while driving the vehicle,
push and hold the “ENGINE START STOP” switch for more than 3 seconds.
However, do not touch the “ENGINE START STOP” switch while driving
except in an emergency. Turning the engine off while driving will not cause
loss of steering or braking control, but the power assist to these systems will
be lost. This will make it more difficult to steer and brake, so you should pull
over and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
NOTICE
To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the “ENGINE START STOP” switch in the ACCESSORY or
IGNITION ON mode for long periods without the engine running.
When starting the engine
Do not race a cold engine.
If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have the engine
checked immediately.

The air conditioning system is being used or turned on.
Vehicles with an automatic air conditioning system only: The windshield
defogger is turned on.
The battery is not sufficiently charged.
The vehicle starts to roll on an incline.
Automatic reactivation of the Stop & Start system

be automatically re-enabled once the engine switch is turned to the “LOCK”
position then to the “START” position (vehicles without a smart entry & start
system) or the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to OFF then the
engine is started (vehicles with a smart entry & start system).
The Stop & Start system protection feature

audio system may be automatically cut off in order to maintain power for the
Stop & Start system function.
If this occurs, turning the engine switch to the “LOCK” position then to the
“ACC” or “ON” position (vehicles without a smart entry & start system) or the
“ENGINE START STOP” switch to the OFF then to ACCESSORY or IGNI-
TION ON mode (vehicles with a smart entry & start system) re-enables the
audio system.
Steering wheel operation
When the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system, the steering wheel
may become heavier than when driving.

automatic engine start function, causing exhaust gases to collect and
enter the vehicle and resulting in death or a serious health hazard.
