Using the MIVEC engine*
The
MIVEC engine automatically switches its in-
take-valve control between a low-speed mode and
a high-speed mode in accordance with driving con-
ditions for maximum engine performance.
NOTE
l To protect the engine, the high-speed mode
may not be selected while the engine coolant
temperature is low.
Stopping the engine E00312600023WARNING
l Do
not operate the engine switch while
driving except in an emergency. If the en-
gine is stopped while driving, the brake
servomechanism will cease to function
and braking efficiency will deteriorate.
Also, the power steering system will not
function and it will require greater man-
ual effort to operate the steering. This
could result in a serious accident.
NOTE l If

you have to bring the engine to an emergen-
cy stop while driving, press and hold the en-
gine switch for 3 seconds or more, or press it
quickly 3 times or more. The engine will
stop and the operation mode will go to ACC. l
Do not stop the engine with the selector lever
in

any position other than the “P” (PARK) po-
sition (CVT). If the engine is stopped with
the selector lever in any position other than
the “P” (PARK) position, the operation
mode will go to ACC rather than OFF.
Put the operation mode in OFF after placing
the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position.
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Fully engage the parking brake while depress- ing the brake pedal.
3. On vehicles with M/T, press the engine switch to stop the engine, move the gearshift
lever to the 1 st
(on a uphill) or “R” (Reverse)
(on a downhill) position.
On vehicles with CVT, move the selector lev-
er to the “P” (PARK) position, press the en-
gine switch to stop the engine.
If the keyless operation key is not oper-
ating properly E00312500093
Insert the keyless operation key into the key slot in
the

glove box. Starting the engine and changing the
operation mode should now be possible. Remove the keyless operation key from the key
slot

after starting the engine or changing the opera-
tion mode. NOTE
l Do

not insert into the key slot anything other
than the keyless operation key. This could
cause damage or a malfunction.
l Remove the object or additional key from the
the keyless operation key before inserting the
key into the key slot.
The vehicle may not be able to receive the
registered ID code from the registered key.
Therefore, the engine may not start and the
operation mode may not change.

Use rearward facing child restraints in the rear seat
or
turn off the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch (if so equipped). (Refer to “To turn an air-
bag off” on page 2-27.)
Front passenger’s airbag ON WARNING
l A
REARWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT must NOT be used in the front
passenger seat if the front passenger’s air-
bag has not been deactivated. The force
of an inflating airbag could kill or cause
serious injuries to the child.
A rearward facing child restraint should
be used in the rear seat.
l A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT should be used in the rear seat
whenever possible; if they must be used
in the front passenger seat, turn off the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch.
Failure to do so could kill or cause seri-
ous injuries to the child. WARNING
l Older
children should be seated in the
rear seat, properly wearing the seat belt,
with an appropriate booster seat if needed.
Caution for installing the child re-
straint on vehicles with a front passen-
ger airbag E00408800399
The label shown here is attached on vehicles with a
front passenger airbag. WARNING
l Extreme Hazard!
Do

not use a rearward facing child re-
straint on a seat protected by an airbag in
front of it! NOTE
l The

labels may be in different positions de-
pending on the vehicle model.
Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch* E00410100285
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch can
be

used to disable the front passenger’s airbag. If
you have a child restraint system that cannot be fit-
ted to any seat other than the front passenger seat,
be sure to turn OFF the front passenger’s airbag ON-
OFF switch before using it.
(Refer to “To turn an airbag off” on page 2-27.)

cated in the glove box. Seat and seat belts

3. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi-
tion or put the operation mode in ON. The
front passenger’s airbag OFF indication
lamp will stay on. The front passenger’s airbag is now deactivated
and will not deploy until switched on again.
Driver’s and front passenger’s airbag
system
E00407400792
The driver’s airbag is located under the padded cov-
er

in the middle of the steering wheel. The front pas-
senger’s airbag is contained in the instrument panel
above the glove box. The driver’s airbag and the front passenger’s air-
bag

are designed to inflate at the same time even if
the passenger seat is not occupied. Driver’s knee airbag system*
E00412400022
The driver’s knee airbag is located under the steer-
ing wheel.
The

driver’s knee airbag is designed to deploy at
the same time as the driver’s front airbag. Deployment of front airbags and driv-
er’s knee airbag
E00407501644
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag ARE
DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
The

front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are de-
signed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moder-
ate to severe frontal impact. Examples of some typ-
ical conditions are shown in the illustration. 1- Head-on

collision with a solid wall at a
speed of approximately 25 km/h (16 mph) or
higher
2- Moderate-to-severe frontal impact within the shaded area between the arrows Seat and seat belts
2-28

OGWE12E1

Examples of some typical conditions are shown in
the illustration.
1- Collision
with an elevated median/island or
kerb
2- Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pothole
3- Vehicle drives down a steep slope and hits the ground
Because the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
may deploy in certain types of unexpected impacts
as shown in the illustration that can easily move
you out of position, it is important to always prop-
erly wear your seat belts. Your seat belts will help
keep you a safe distance from the steering wheel
and instrument panel during the initial stages of air-
bag deployment. The initial stage of airbag infla-
tion is the most forceful and can possibly cause se-
rious or fatal injuries if you contact it at this stage. WARNING
l Do
not attach anything to the steering
wheel’s padded cover, such as badges or
accessories. It might strike and injure an
occupant if the airbag inflates. WARNING
l Do
not set anything on, or attach any-
thing to, the instrument panel above the
glove box. It might strike and injure an oc-
cupant if the airbag inflates. WARNING
l Do
not attach accessories to, or put them
in front of, the windscreen. These objects
could restrict the airbag inflation, or
strike and injure an occupant if the air-
bags inflate.
l Do not attach additional keys or accesso-
ries (hard, pointed or heavy objects) to
the ignition key. Such objects could pre-
vent the driver’s knee airbag from inflat-
ing normally or could be propelled and
cause serious injury if the airbag inflates. WARNING
l Do
not attach accessories to the lower por-
tion of the driver’s side instrument panel.
Such objects could prevent the driver’s
knee airbag from inflating normally or
could be propelled and cause serious in-
jury if the airbag inflates. WARNING
l Do
not put packages, pets or other ob-
jects between the airbags and the driver
or front passenger. It could affect airbag
performance, or could cause injury when
the airbag inflates.
l Right after the airbag inflation, several
airbag system components will be hot. Do
not touch these components. There is a
danger of being burnt. Seat and seat belts
