When the light is À ashing






 (Manual transaxle) 
 The light À ashes when the shift lever is shifted to a position other than the neutral while

By pressing the switch until a beep
sounds, the i-stop function is turned off
and the i-stop warning light (amber) in the
instrument cluster turns on. By pressing

When Driving
Start/Stop Engine
Vehicle Roll Prevention Function (Automatic transaxle)
Vehicles with the i-stop function are equipped with a vehicle roll prevention function. This
function prevents the vehicle from rolling, such as when releasing the brake pedal while on
a slope under the following conditions:
 


 While engine idling is stopped (prevents the vehicle from rolling back)
 When starting from a stop (prevents the vehicle's sudden movement due to vehicle creep) When the brake pedal is released, the braking force is maintained automatically depending
on the grade of the road.

Release foot from brake pedal Vehicle brake force maintained
Engine restarted Acceleration

4–23
When Driving
Start/Stop Engine
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the vehicle roll prevention function.  
 The vehicle roll prevention function is a supplementary function which operates
for a maximum of four seconds after releasing the brake pedal and accelerating the
vehicle from an engine idling stop condition. Over reliance on the system may result
in an unexpected accident if the vehicle were to suddenly accelerate. Before starting
to drive the vehicle, always con¿ rm the safety of the surroundings and operate the
selector lever, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal appropriately. Note that the vehicle
may move suddenly depending on the grade of the road, the vehicle's load, or if it is
towing something.
  Note that the vehicle may move suddenly after the vehicle roll prevention function is
released while the vehicle is under the following conditions:
 

 
 The selector lever is in the N position. 

 
 If the selector lever is shifted to the N position and the brake pedal is released
while the i-stop function is operating, the brake force is gradually released. To
accelerate the vehicle, release the brake pedal after the engine restarts and shift
the selector lever to a position other than the N position.
NOTE
  When the vehicle is stopped on a steep grade, the vehicle roll prevention function does
not operate because engine idling is not stopped.
  The brake pedal response may change, sound may occur from the brakes, or the
brake pedal could vibrate from the operation of the vehicle roll prevention function.
However, this does not indicate a malfunction.

NOTE
When the ignition is switched to ACC
or off, the odometer or trip meters
cannot be displayed, however, pressing
the selector can inadvertently switch
the trip meters or reset them during an
approximate ten-minute period in the
following cases:
 
 After the ignition is switched to off
from ON.
  After the driver's door is opened.
Odometer
The odometer records the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.
Trip meter
The trip meter can record the total distance
of two trips. One is recorded in trip meter
A, and the other is recorded in trip meter
B.

For instance, trip meter A can record the
distance from the point of origin, and
trip meter B can record the distance from
where the fuel tank is ¿ lled.

When trip meter A is selected, pressing
the selector again within one second will
change to trip meter B mode.

When trip meter A is selected, TRIP A
will be displayed. When trip meter B is
selected, TRIP B will be displayed.
The trip meter records the total distance
the vehicle is driven until the meter
is again reset. Return it to “0.0” by
depressing and holding the selector for
one second or more. Use this meter to
measure trip distances and to compute fuel
consumption.
NOTE
  (Vehicles with type B audio)  If the fuel economy data is reset
using the fuel economy monitor,
or trip A is reset using the trip
meter when the function which
synchronizes the fuel economy
monitor and the trip meter is on, the
fuel economy data and trip A are
reset simultaneously.
 Refer to Fuel Economy Monitor on
page 4-93 .
  Only the trip meters record tenths of
kilometres (miles).
  The trip record will be erased when: 



 The power supply is interrupted
(blown fuse or the battery is
disconnected).
 


 The vehicle is driven over
9999.9 km (mile).
