N00568100013
After approximately 30 minutes has elapsed with the operation
mode in ACC, the function automatically cuts out the power
for the audio system and other electric devices that can be
operated with that mode.
When the engine switch is pressed while the operation mode is
in ACC, the power is supplied again to those devices.
CAUTION
!When the engine is not running, put the operation
mode in OFF. Leaving the operation mode in ON or
ACC for a long time when the engine is not running
may cause the battery to be discharged, making it
impossible to start the engine and to lock and unlock
the steering wheel. When the battery is disconnected, the current oper-
ation mode is memorized. After reconnecting the
battery, the memorized mode is selected automati-
cally. Before disconnecting the battery for repair or
replacement, make sure to put the operation mode
in OFF.
Be careful if you are not sure which operation mode
the vehicle is in when the battery is run down.The operation mode cannot be changed from OFF to
ACC or ON if the F.A.S.T.-key is not detected to be
in the vehicle. Refer to “Operating range for start-
ing the engine and changing the operation mode” on
page 3-18.
