Ignition switchConventional type ignition switchPush-button ignition switch
1) Operation indicator
2) Push-button ignition switch
The design of the push-button ignition
switch may be slightly different depending
on the models.
WARNING
.Before leaving the vehicle, ob-
serve the following instructions
for safety.
–Remove the key from the igni-
tion switch (models with con-
ventional type ignition
switch).
–Carry out the access key fob
(models with push-button
ignition switch).
–Never allow an unattended
child to remain in the vehicle.
Failure to observe these instruc-
tions could result in injury to a
child or others. Children could
operate the power windows, the
moonroof or other controls, or
even make the vehicle move.
.Never turn the ignition switch to
the“LOCK”/“OFF”position while
driving or being towed. Doing so
will lock the steering wheel, pre-
venting steering control. In addi-
tion, when the engine stops, it
takes a much greater effort thanusual to steer.
CAUTION
.To prevent the vehicle battery
from discharging, keep the igni-
tion switch in the“LOCK”/“OFF”
position when the engine is not
running.
.Do not use electrical accessories
for a long time with the ignition
switch in the“ON”or“ACC”
position. Doing so can cause the
battery to go dead.

!Battery drainage prevention func-
tion
When the push-button ignition switch is left
in the“ACC”or“ON”position for approxi-
mately 1 hour, the push-button ignition
switch will be automatically switched to
“OFF”to prevent the battery from going
dead. (In CVT models, this function is
activated when the select lever is in the“P”
position.)
!When access key fob does not
operate properly
Refer to“Access key fob–if access key
fob does not operate properly”F9-26.
Hazard warning flasherUse the hazard warning flasher to warn
other drivers when you have to park your
vehicle under emergency conditions. The
hazard warning flasher works regardless

instrument panel. All the turn signal lights
and the turn signal indicator lights will
flash. To turn off the flasher, push the
button again.NOTEWhen the hazard warning flasher is on,
the turn signals do not work.

some of the meters and gauges on the
combination meter. You will find their
indications hard to see if you wear
polarized glasses.&Combination meter illumina-
tionWhen you turn the ignition switch to the
“ON”position, the various parts of the
combination meter are illuminated in the
following sequence.
1. Warning lights, indicator lights, meter
needles, gauge needles illuminate.
2. Meter and gauge indications each

CAUTION
To ensure safety, do not attempt to
change the function of the indicator
while driving, as an accident could
result.NOTEIf the connection between the combina-
tion meter and battery is broken for any
reason such as vehicle maintenance or
fuse replacement, the data recorded on
the trip meter will be lost.
&TachometerThe tachometer shows the engine speed
in thousands of revolutions per minute.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine with the
pointer of the tachometer in the red
zone. In this range, fuel injection will
be cut by the engine control module
to protect the engine from overrev-
ving. The engine will resume run-
ning normally after the engine speed
is reduced below the red zone.
&Fuel gauge1) Low fuel warning lightThe fuel gauge shows the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
When the ignition switch is in the“LOCK”/
“OFF”or“ACC”position, the fuel gauge
shows“E”even if the fuel tank contains
fuel.
The gauge may move slightly during
braking, turning or acceleration due to fuel
level movement in the tank.
If you press the trip knob while the ignition
switch is in the“LOCK”/“OFF”or“ACC”
position, the fuel gauge’s dial will light up
and the needle will indicate the amount of
fuel remaining in the tank.
