 The light turns on while engine idling is stopped and turns off when the engine is
restarted.
 


 (Except European model) 
 The light turns on when the engine idling stop conditions are met while the vehicle is
driven.

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
engine idling is stopped to notify the driver that engine idling is stopped.
  (SKYACTIV-G 1.3, SKYACTIV-G 1.5) 
 By depressing the clutch pedal or starting to release it, the engine restarts automatically
and the light turns off.

 The light À ashes when the driver's door is opened while engine idling is stopped to
notify the driver that engine idling is stopped. It turns off when the driver's door is
closed.
 

 
 If the engine is restarted due to low battery voltage while the engine idling is stopped,
the i-stop indicator light (green) in the instrument cluster À ashes for about 3 seconds.




 (Except European model)

i-stop OFF Switch

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
the switch again until the beep sounds, the
i-stop function becomes operational and
the i-stop warning light (amber) turns off.

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.

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.

Instrument Cluster and Display
*Some models.
Current fuel economy mode
This mode displays the current fuel
economy by calculating the amount of fuel
consumption and the distance travelled.
Current fuel economy will be calculated
and displayed every 2 seconds.


When you've slowed to about 5 km/h
(3 mph), - - - L/100 km (- - - mpg) will be
displayed.
Tachometer *
The tachometer shows engine speed in
thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm).
CAUTION
Do not run the engine with the
tachometer needle in the RED ZONE.
This may cause severe engine damage.

When the tachometer needle enters the
STRIPED ZONE, this indicates to the
driver that the gears should be shifted
before entering the RED ZONE.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge shows approximately
how much fuel is remaining in the tank
when the ignition is switched ON. We
recommend keeping the tank over 1/4 full.

If the low fuel warning light illuminates or
the fuel level is very low, refuel as soon as
possible.
Refer to Warning Lights on page 4-38 .
NOTE
  After refuelling, it may require some
time for the indicator to stabilize. In
addition, the indicator may deviate
while driving on a slope or curve
since the fuel moves in the tank.
  The display indicating a quarter
or less remaining fuel has more
segments to show the remaining fuel
level in greater detail.
  The direction of the arrow ( )
indicates that the fuel-¿ ller À ap is on
the left side of the vehicle.
(SKYACTIV-D 1.5)
If inconsistency in engine performance
or stalling occurs due to low fuel level
conditions, refuel the vehicle as soon as
possible and add at least 10 L (2.7 US gal,
2.2 Imp gal) of fuel.
