▼Vehicle Roll Prevention Function (Automatic transaxle)
Vehicles with the i-stop function are equipped with a vehicle r
oll prevention function. This
function prevents the vehicle fr om rolling, such as when releas ing the brake pedal while on
a slope under the following conditions:
•While engine idling is stopped (prevents the vehicle from rolling back)
•When the engine restarts after re leasing the brake pedal (prevents the vehicle's sudden
movement due to vehicle creep), sudden movement of the vehicle is prevented by
controlling the brakes.

Engine restarted Acceleration
WA R N I N G
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 relian ce on the system may result in an unexpected
accident if the vehicle were to suddenly acce lerate. Before starting to drive the vehicle,
always confirm the safety of the surroundings and operate the selector lever, brake pedal,
and accelerator pedal appropriately. Note th at the vehicle may move suddenly depending
on the vehicle's load or if it is towing something.

Note that the vehicle may move suddenly af ter the vehicle roll prevention function is
released while the vehicle is un der 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 engi ne 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.
▼ i-stop Warning Light (Amber)/i
-stop Indicator Light (Green)
To ensure safe and comfortable use of the vehicle, the i-stop s ystem constantly monitors the

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 r
ecorded 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 filled.
When trip meter A is s elected, 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. Wh en 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
4-96.
•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).

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
(Without Multi-information
Display)
Displays the engine coolant temperature.
The white gauge indicates that the engine
coolant temperature is low, and the red
gauge indicates that the engine coolant
temperature is high and overheating.
CAUTION
If the engine coolant temperature gauge
indicator flashes, there is a possibility of
overheating. Park the vehicle in a safe
place immediately and take appropriate
measures. If the vehicle continues to be
driven, it could cause damage to the
engine.
Refer to Overheating on page 7-37.
NOTE
•The temperature unit (Centigrade/
Fahrenheit) of the engine coolant gauge
display changes in conjunction with the
temperature unit of the outside
temperature display.
Refer to Personalisation Features on
page 9-12.
•During normal driving, the engine
coolant temperature stabilizes at 100 °C
(210 °F) or less, and the gauge indicates
a range lower than 100 °C (210 °F).
