matically. Before disconnect-
ing the battery for repair or replacement,make sure to put the operation mode in OFF. Be careful if you are not sure which opera- tion mode the vehicle is in when the batteryis 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 “Oper- ating range for starting the engine andchanging the operation mode” on page 5-14.
