NOTICE
If you unfasten the seatbelt or open
the driver's door (or engine bonnet)
in auto stop mode, the following will
happen:
 The ISG system will deactivate (the light on the ISG OFF button
will illuminate).
 A message "Auto Start deactivat- ed Start manually" will appear on
the LCD display.
Auto start
To restart the engine from idle
stop mode
With manual transaxle
Press the clutch pedal when the shift lever is in the N (Neutral) posi- tion.
The engine will start and the green AUTO STOP ( ) indicator on the
instrument cluster will go out.
With dual clutch transmission /
Automatic transaxle
Release the brake pedal.
The engine will also restart auto- matically without the driver’s any actions if the following occurs:
- The fan speed of manual climate control system is set above the 3rd position when the air conditioning ison.
- The fan speed of automatic climate control system is set above the 6thposition when the air conditioning ison.
- When a certain amount of time has passed with the climate control sys-tem on.
- When the defroster is on.
- The brake vaccum pressure is low.
- The battery charging status is low.
- The vehicle speed exceeds 5 km/h (3 mph). (with manual transaxle)
- The vehicle speed exceeds 2 km/h (1.2 mph). (with dual clutch trans- mission)
- Move the shift gear to the R (Reverse) position or the sports
mode whilst depressing the brake
pedal. (with dual clutch transmission)

Active ECO operation
Active ECO helps improve fuel effi-
ciency by controlling the engine and
transaxle. But fuel-efficiency can be
changed by the driver's driving habits
and road conditions.
When the Active ECO button ispressed the ECO indicator (green)
will illuminate to show that the
Active ECO is operating.
If Active ECO is turned off, it will return to the normal mode. When Active ECO is activated:
The acceleration may slightly be
reduced eventhough you depress
the accelerator fully.
The air conditioner performance may be limited.
The shift pattern of the automatic transaxle/dual clutch transmission
may change.
The above situations are normal
conditions when the active eco sys-
tem is activated to improve fuel effi-
ciency. Limitation of Active ECO oper- ation:
If the following conditions occur
whilst Active ECO is operating, the
system operation is limited eventhough there is no change in the
ECO indicator.
When the coolant temperature is
low: The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-mal.
When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain power when
driving uphill because the engine
torque is restricted.
When using sports mode: The sys- tem will be limited according to theshift location.
When the accelerator pedal is deeply pressed for a few seconds:The system will be limited, judging
that the driver wants to speed up.

Driving your vehicle
In the event of brake failure
If service brakes fail to operate whilst
the vehicle is in motion, you can
make an emergency stop with the
parking brake. The stopping dis-
tance, however, will be much greater
than normal.
Disc brakes wear indicator
When your brake pads are worn and
new pads are required, you will hear
a high-pitched warning sound from
your front brakes or rear brakes. You
may hear this sound come and go or
it may occur whenever you depress
the brake pedal.
Please remember that some driving
conditions or climates may cause a
brake squeal when you first apply (or
lightly apply) the brakes. This is nor-
mal and does not indicate a problem
with your brakes.
WARNING - Brake wear
This brake wear warning sound
means your vehicle needs serv-
ice. If you ignore this audible
warning, you will eventually
lose braking performance,
which could lead to a seriousaccident.
CAUTION
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not continue to drive withworn brake pads.
Always replace the front or rear brake pads as pairs.
WARNING - Parking
brake
Applying the parking brake
whilst the vehicle is moving atnormal speeds can cause a
sudden loss of control of the
vehicle. If you must use theparking brake to stop the vehi-
cle, use great caution in apply-
ing the brake.

Non-operating condition
Outside rearview mirror may not
alert the driver when:
- The outside rearview mirror housing
is damaged or covered with debris.
- The window is covered with debris.
- The windows are severely tinted. Driver's Attention
The driver must be cautious in the
below situations, because the sys-
tem may not detect other vehicles
or objects in certain circumstances.
- The vehicle drives on a curved
road or through a tollgate.
- The sensor is polluted with rain, snow, mud, etc.
- The rear bumper, in which the sensor is located, is covered or
blocked with a foreign matter
such as a sticker, a bumper
guard, a bicycle stand, etc.
- The rear bumper is damaged, or the sensor is out of the originaldefault position.
- The vehicle height gets lower or higher due to heavy loading in a
trunk, abnormal tyre pressure,etc.
- The vehicle drives in a bad weather such as heavy rain or
snow.
(Continued)CAUTION
The system may not work prop-erly if the bumper has beenreplaced or if a repair work hasbeen done near the sensor.
The detection area differs according to the roads width.If the road is narrow the sys- tem may detect other vehiclesin the second next lane.
On the contrary, if the road is very wide the system may notdetect other vehicles in the next lane.
The system might be turned off due to strong electromag-netic waves.

ECONOMICAL OPERATION
Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where
you drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how
many kilometers (miles) you can get
from a litre (gallon) of fuel. To operate
your vehicle as economically as pos-
sible, use the following driving sug-
gestions to help save money in bothfuel and repairs:
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate. Do not make "jack-
rabbit" starts or full-throttle shifts
and maintain a steady cruising
speed. Do not race between stop-
lights. Try to adjust your speed to
the traffic so you do not have to
change speeds unnecessarily.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-
sible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you
can avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear.
Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your
vehicle uses. Driving at a moderate
speed, especially on the highway,
is one of the most effective ways toreduce fuel consumption. Do not "ride" the brake or clutch
pedal. This can increase fuel con-
sumption and also increase wear
on these components. In addition,
driving with your foot resting on the
brake pedal may cause the brakes
to overheat, which reduces their
effectiveness and may lead to
more serious consequences.
Take care of your tyres. Keep them inflated to the recommended pres-
sure. Incorrect inflation, either too
much or too little, results in unnec-
essary tyre wear. Check the tyrepressures at least once a month.
Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper align-
ment can result from hitting kerbs
or driving too fast over irregular
surfaces. Poor alignment causes
faster tyre wear and may also
result in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption. Keep your vehicle in good condi-
tion. For better fuel economy and
reduced maintenance costs, main-
tain your vehicle in accordance
with the maintenance schedule. If
you drive your vehicle in severe
conditions, more frequent mainte-nance is required.
Keep your vehicle clean. For maxi- mum service, your vehicle should
be kept clean and free of corrosive
materials. It is especially important
that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be
allowed to accumulate on the
underside of the vehicle. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute tocorrosion.
Travel lightly. Do not carry unnec- essary weight in your vehicle.
Weight reduces fuel economy.
Do not let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting
(and not in traffic), turn off your
engine and restart only when
you're ready to go.
