3-1. Start/Stop Engine
Ignition Switch
The system operates only when the driver is in the vehicle or within
operational range while the key is being carried.
Each time the push button start is
pressed, the ignition switches in
the order of off, ACC, and ON.
Pressing the push button start
again from ON switches the igni-
tion off.
■Off

start indicator light (amber) also turns off.
In this position the st eering wheel is locked.
■ACC (Accessory)
Some electrical access ories will operate and the indicator light
(amber) illuminates.

This is the normal running posit ion after the engine is started. The
indicator light (amber) turns off. (The indicator light (amber) illumi-
nates when the ignition is switched ON and the engine is not ru n-
ning.)

3-2. Combination Meter and Display
The fuel gauge shows approximately how much fuel is remaining in
the tank when the ignition is sw itched ON. We recommend keeping
the tank over 1/4 full.
Full
1/4 Full
Empty
If the low fuel warning light illuminates or the fuel level is very low,
refuel as soon as possible.
If inconsistency in engine performance or stalling occurs due to low
fuel level conditions, refuel the vehicle as soon as possible a nd add at
least 10 L (2.7 US gal, 2 .2 Imp gal) of fuel.
Refer to Warning/Indi cator Lights on P. 173.
●After refueling, it may require some time for the indicator to stabilize. In addi-
tion, the indicator may deviate while driving on a slope or cur ve since the
fuel moves in the tank.
● The display indicating a quarter or less remaining fuel has mor e segments
to show the remaining fuel level in greater detail.
● The direction of the arrow ( ) indicates that the fuel-filler lid is on the left
side of the vehicle.
