Battery saver function
The purpose of this feature is to prevent
the battery from being discharged. The
system automatically turns off the park-
ing lights when the driver removes the
ignition key and opens the driver-side
door (in that order).
With this feature, the parking lights will be turned off automatically if the driver
parks on the side of road at night.
If necessary, to keep the lights on
when the ignition key is removed, per-
form the following:
1) Open the driver-side door.
2) Turn the parking lights OFF and ON again using the light switch on the
steering column.

The headlights (and/or taillights) remain
on for approximately 20 minutes after the

ver’s door is opened and closed, the
headlights are turned off after 30 seconds.
The headlights can be turned off by
pressing the lock button on the transmit-
ter (or smart key) twice or turning off the
light switch from the headlight or Auto
light position.

on. At this time, the emergency lighting is
not turned off when the headlight switch
is turned off.

WARNING - Ignition
switch
Never turn the ignition switch to LOCK or ACC while the vehicle is
moving. This would result in loss of
directional control and braking func-
tion, which could cause an accident.
The anti-theft steering column lock is not a substitute for the parking
brake. Before leaving the driver's
seat, always make sure the shift
lever is engaged in P (Park) for the
automatic transaxle, set the park-
ing brake fully, and shut the engine
off. Unexpected and sudden vehi-
cle movement may occur if these
precautions are not taken.
Never reach for the ignition switch, or any other controls through the
steering wheel while the vehicle is in
motion. The presence of your hand
or arm in this area could cause a
loss of vehicle control, an accident
and serious bodily injury or death.
Do not place any movable objects around the driver’s seat as they may
move while driving, interfere with
the driver and lead to an accident.

Driving your vehicle
3. Carry the smart key or leave it insidethe vehicle.
4. Depress the brake pedal.
5. Depress and hold the ignition switch. Make sure that the immobilizer indica-
tor ( ) illuminates on the instru-
ment panel.
6. With the ignition switch depressed and held, start the engine by turning the
ignition switch on. Even if the smart key is in the vehicle,
if it is far away from you, the engine
may not start.
When the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON position, if any door is open, the
system checks for the smart key. If the
smart key is not in the vehicle, the indi-
cator will blink, and if all doors are
closed, the chime will also sound for
about 5 seconds. The indicator will turn
off while the vehicle is moving. Keep
the smart key in the vehicle.
If the battery is weak or the smart key
does not work correctly, you can start the
engine by inserting the smart key in the
ignition switch.
OEN056009
WARNING
The ignition switch will turn, and
the engine will start, only when the
smart key is in the vehicle and the
brake has been depressed.
Never allow children or any person
who is unfamiliar with the vehicle
to touch the ignition switch or relat-
ed parts.
