Selector lever is operated while engine idling is stopped (automatic transaxle)
If the selector lever is shifted from D or M (not in second gear fixed mode) position to N or
P position while engine idling is stopped, the engine does not restart even when the brake
pedal is released. The engine will restart if the brake pedal is depressed again or the
selector lever is shifted to the D, M (not in second gear fixed mode), or R position. (For the
purposes of safety, always keep the brake pedal depressed when shifting the selector lever
while engine idling is stopped.)
If the selector lever is shifted from the D or M (not in second gear fixed mode) to the N or P
position, and the driver's seat belt is unfastened and the driver's door is opened, the engine
restarts.
Battery terminals are disconnected
Engine idling may not stop right after the batte ry terminals are disconnected. In addition, if

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
