Never stop the engine when going down a
hill:
Stopping the engine when going down a
hill is dangerous. This causes the loss of
power steering and power brake control,
and may cause damage to the drivetrain.
Any loss of steering or braking control
could cause an accident.

Engine-stop period is short or time until
next engine idle stop is long
xThe ambient temperature is high or low.
xThe battery power is depleted.
xPower consumption by the vehicle's
electrical parts is high.
Engine restarts automatically while
engine idling is stopped
Under the following conditions, the engine
restarts automatically.
xThe i-stop OFF switch is pressed until
the beep sounds.
xThe air conditioner is operated with the
airflow mode dial in the
position.
xThe temperature setting dial of the air
conditioner is set to maximum heating
or maximum cooling (A/C ON).
xThe cabin temperature is largely
different from the set temperature of the
air conditioner.
xThe brakes are released slightly on a
slope and the vehicle begins to move.
xTwo minutes have elapsed since the
idling was stopped.
xThe battery power is depleted.
x(Automatic transaxle)
xThe accelerator pedal is depressed
with the selector lever in the D or M
(not in second gear fixed mode)
position.
xThe selector lever is shifted to the R
position.
xThe selector lever is shifted from N or
P position to D or M (not in second
gear fixed mode) position.
xThe steering wheel is operated with
the selector lever in the D or M (not in
second gear fixed mode) position.
xThe selector lever is in the M position
and the second gear fixed mode is
selected.
x(Except European model)
x(Manual transaxle)
With the shift lever in the neutral
position, the driver's seat belt is
unfastened, the driver's door is
opened, or the bonnet is opened.
x(Automatic transaxle)
With the selector lever in the P or N
position, or the D/M range, the
driver's seat belt is unfastened, the
driver's door is opened, or the bonnet
is opened.
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.

Do not let the vehicle move in a direction
opposite to the direction selected by the
selector lever:
Do not let the vehicle move backward with
the selector lever in a forward position, or
do not let the vehicle move forward with
the selector lever in the reverse position.
Otherwise, the engine may stop, causing
the loss of the power brake and power
steering functions, and make it difficult to
control the vehicle which could result in an
accident.

NOTE
xThe accelerator pedal may initially feel
heavy as it is being depressed, then feel
lighter as it is depressed further. This
change in pedal force aids the engine
control system in determining how much
the accelerator pedal has been
depressed for performing kickdown, and
functions to control whether or not
kickdown should be performed.
xWhile the selector lever is in the M
position and the DSC is turned off,
manual shift mode does not switch to
automatic shift mode even if the
accelerator pedal is completely
depressed. Operate the selector lever.

¾Do not tow with sling-type equipment.
This could damage your vehicle. Use
wheel-lift or
flatbed equipment.
¾If the parking brake cannot be released
when towing the vehicle, transport the
vehicle with all front and rear wheels
raised
off the ground as shown in the
figure. If the vehicle is towed without
raising the wheels
off the ground, the
brake system could be damaged.

NOTE
xIf the message is displayed, the power steering will not operate normally. In this
case, the steering wheel can still be operated, however, the operation may feel heavy
compared to normal, or the steering wheel could vibrate when turning.
xRepeatedly jerking the steering wheel left and right while the vehicle is stopped or
moving extremely slowly will cause the power steering system to go into protective
mode which will make the steering feel heavy, but this does not indicate a problem. If
this occurs, park the vehicle safely and wait several minutes for the system to return
to normal.
