NOTICE
When using the Simple-IPA
Check that the parking space is suitable. (Width of the space, if there are
any obstacles, road surface condition, etc.)
Simple-IPA will not operate properly if the vehicle at the front or back of the
parking space moves, or if an obstacle enters the parking space after the
sensors have detected the parking space. Always check the surrounding
area during parking assist operation.
The sensors may not be able to detect curbs. The vehicle may drive onto
the curb depending on the situation, such as if a vehicle at the front or
back of the parking space has driven on the curb.
Check the surrounding area to prevent the tires and wheels from being
damaged.
Except hybrid model: The vehicle may not be able to be parked at a target
parking space if the vehicle moves forward when the shift lever is in R or
reverses when the shift lever is in a position other than R, such as when
parking on a slope.
Hybrid model: The vehicle may not be able to be parked at a target parking
space if the vehicle moves forward when the shift position is in R or
reverses when the shift position is in a position other than R, such as when
parking on a slope.
When reversing, reverse the vehicle
slowly to prevent the front end of the
vehicle from hitting an obstacle in the
front of the vehicle.
When reversing, reverse the vehicle
slowly to prevent the front end of the
vehicle from hitting the vehicle parked in
front of the parking space.

Operating conditions
The Stop & Start system is operational when all of the following conditions
are met:
• The engine is adequately warmed up.
• The 12-volt battery is sufficiently charged.
• The driver's door is closed.
• The driver's seat belt is fastened.
• The hood is closed.
• The clutch pedal is not being depressed.
• The shift lever is in N.
In the following circumstances the engine may not be stopped by the Stop &
Start system. This is not a malfunction of the Stop & Start system.
• Engine coolant temperature is too low or too high.
• Diesel engine: The outside temperature is too low.
• Vehicles with an automatic air conditioning system: The air conditioning
system is being used when the vehicle interior temperature is extremely
high such as after the vehicle was parked under the hot sun.
• Vehicles with an automatic air conditioning system only: The windshield
defogger is being used.
• Vehicles with a power heater: The power heater is being used.
• The 12-volt battery is not sufficiently charged, or is undergoing a peri-
odic recharge.
• Due to traffic or other circumstances the vehicle is stopped repeatedly,
resulting in the amount of time the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start
system to become excessively high.
• The brake booster vacuum is low.
• A large amount of electricity is being used.
• At high altitude
When the above conditions improve, the Stop & Start system will stop and
restart the engine from the next time the vehicle is stopped.
In the following situations, it may take longer than normal for the Stop & Start
system to activate.
• The 12-volt battery is discharged.
• After the 12-volt battery terminals have been disconnected and recon-
nected after a 12-volt battery replacement, etc.
• The engine coolant temperature is low.

Automatic engine start function
In the following situations, the engine may start even without the clutch pedal
being depressed.
• The brake pedal is pumped or strongly depressed.
• Vehicles with an automatic air conditioning system: 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 12-volt battery is not sufficiently charged.
• The vehicle starts to roll on an incline.
• A large amount of electricity is being used.
• The driver’s door is opened.

is disabled by the Stop & Start cancel switch, it will be automatically re-
enabled once the engine switch is turned to the “LOCK” position then to the
“START” position.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: Even if the Stop & Start system is
disabled by the Stop & Start cancel switch, it will be automatically re-enabled
once the engine switch is turned off then the engine is started.
The Stop & Start system protection feature
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system: When an excessively loud
sound is being projected by the audio system, the audio system may be auto-
matically cut off in order to maintain power for the Stop & Start system func-
tion.
If this occurs, turning the engine switch to the “LOCK” position then to the
“ACC” or “ON” position re-enables the audio system.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: When an excessively loud sound
is being projected by the audio system, the audio system may be automati-

CAUTION
When the Stop & Start system is operating
Keep the shift lever in N and apply the brake pedal or parking brake for
safety while the engine is stopped due to the Stop & Start system (while

turn the steering wheel
Driving assist systems
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following
systems operate automatically in response to various driving
situations. Be aware, however, that these systems are supple-
mentary and should not be relied upon too heavily when operat-
