WARNING
Do not stop the engine while the
vehicle is moving:
Stopping the engine while the vehicle
is moving for any reason other than in
an emergency is dangerous. Stopping
the engine while the vehicle is moving
will result in reduced braking ability
due to the loss of power braking,
which could cause an accident and
serious injury.
1. Stop the vehicle completely.
2.(Manual transmission)
Shift into neutral and set the
parking brake.
(Automatic transmission)
Shift the selector lever to the P
position and set the parking brake.
3. Press the push button start to turn off the engine. The ignition position
is off.
CAUTION
When leaving the vehicle, make sure
the push button start is off.
NOTE
The cooling fan in the engine
compartment could turn on for a few
minutes after the ignition is switched
from ON to OFF, whether or not the
A/C is on or off, to cool the engine
compartment quickly.
If the system detects that the
remaining battery power of the key is
low when the ignition is switched
from ON to ACC or OFF, the

Cylinder Deactivation*
▼ Cylinder Deactivation
The cylinder deactivation is a function
designed to reduce fuel consumption
and improve fuel economy by
deactivating 2 out of the 4 cylinders
while driving. The function constantly
determines which is better for driving;
4 cylinders or 2 cylinders, regardless of
the driver's operations, and it performs
the switching automatically.
When the cylinder deactivation
function does not operate
The cylinder deactivation function
does not operate under the following
conditions.
The selector lever is in the P, N, or R
position (automatic transmission), or
1st gear (manual transmission).
The engine oil temperature or engine
coolant temperature is low.

Odometer
The odometer records the total
distance the vehicle has been driven.
Tr i p m e t e r
The driving distance for a specified
interval is indicated. Two types (TRIP A,
TRIP B) of interval distance and the
average fuel economy for each can be
measured.
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 selected, TRIP A
will be displayed. When trip meter B is
selected, TRIP B will be displayed.
The trip meter and average fuel
economy can be reset by pressing the
TRIP switch for 1.5 seconds or more
while in each mode.
NOTE
Only the trip meters record tenths of
kilometers (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
Displays the engine coolant
temperature. The blue range of the
gauge indicates that the engine coolant
temperature is low, and the red range
of the gauge indicates that the engine
coolant temperature is high and

▼ Distance-to-empty
This displays the approximate distance
you can travel on the remaining fuel
based on the fuel economy.
The distance-to-empty will be
calculated and displayed every second.
NOTE
Even though the distance-to-empty
display may indicate a sufficient
amount of remaining driving distance
before refueling is required, refuel as
soon as possible if the fuel level is
very low or the low fuel warning light
illuminates.
The display will not change unless
you add more than approximately 9
L (2.3 US gal, 1.9 Imp gal) of fuel.
The distance-to-empty is the
approximate remaining distance the
vehicle can be driven until all the
graduation marks in the fuel gauge
indicating the remaining fuel supply
disappear.
If there is no past fuel economy
information such as after first
purchasing your vehicle or the
information is deleted when the
battery cables are disconnected, the
actual distance-to empty/range may
differ from the amount indicated.

Always check the areas surrounding
garage doors and gates for people or
obstructions before programming or
during operation of the HomeLink
system:
Programming or operating the
HomeLink system without verifying the
safety of areas surrounding garage
doors and gates is dangerous and
could result in an unexpected accident
and serious injury if someone were to
be hit.
NOTE
The programming will not be erased
even if the battery is disconnected.
▼Pre-programming the HomeLink
System
NOTE
It is recommended that a new battery
be placed in the hand-held transmitter
of the device being programmed to
HomeLink for quicker training and
accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal.
Verify that there is a remote control
transmitter available for the device
you would like to program.
▼Programming the HomeLink

2. HomeLink button
2. Hold the hand-held transmitter 2.5 to 7.5 cm (1 to 3 in) away from the
HomeLink button you would like to
program while keeping the
indicator light in view.
NOTE
Depending on the hand-held
transmitter, it may be easier to do
the programming by holding it 15
to 20 cm (6 to 7.8 in) away from
the HomeLink button.
3. Press the hand-held transmitter button continuously until the
indicator light changes from amber
(flashing) to green (on/flashing).
