ture is high, “Transmission Oil Temp. High 
Stop in a safe place and See owner’s man-
ual” will be displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display and the vehicle will go into

NOTICE
■To prevent battery discharge
●Do not leave the engine switch in ACC 
or ON for long periods of time without 
the engine running.
●If “ACCESSORY” or “IGNITION 
ON” is displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display while the engine is not run-
ning, the engine switch is not OFF. Exit 
the vehicle after turning the engine 
switch off.

lever is in a position other than P. If the 
engine is stopped in another shift lever

ACC. If the vehicle is left in ACC, bat-
tery discharge may occur.
