Battery saver function
The purpose of this feature is to
prevent the battery from being dis-
charged if the lights are left in the
ON position. The system automati-
cally shuts off the parking lights 30
seconds after the ignition key is
removed and the driver’s door is
opened and closed.
With this feature, the parking lights will turn off automatically if the driver
parks on the side of the road at night
and opens the driver’s side door.
If necessary, to keep the parking
lights on when the ignition key is
removed, perform 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.

If the battery is weak or the smartkey does not work correctly, you
can start the engine by pressing

onds while it is in the ACC posi-
tion. The engine can start without
depressing the brake pedal. But for

STOP button for more than 10 sec-
onds except when the stop lamp fuse
is blown.
