Gearshift indicator
61MM0A133
(1) Gearshift indicator
In the following cases, the gearshift indica-
tor is indicated on the information display
when the ignition switch is in “ON” position
or the ignition mode is “ON”.
• When the gearshift lever is in a position
other than “N” (Neutral).
• For vehicles equipped with the cruise
control, when the system is not in use.The electronic control system monitors
driving conditions (such as vehicle speed
and/or engine revolution), and it shows
which gear position is appropriate for your
driving with the indication on the display.
If the UP/DOWN arrow and a gear position
other than what is currently selected are
indicated on the display while driving, we
recommend that you shift the gear up or
down to indicated position. This is the
appropriate gear position for a driving con-
dition that reduces the over revolution and
stress to the engine, and improves fuel
consumption.
For details on how to use the transaxle,
refer to “Using transaxle” in this section.NOTE:
• The gearshift indicator is not indicated
when the gear position is in “N” (Neu-
tral).
• If you depress the clutch pedal while UP/
DOWN arrow is indicated, the indication
will disappear.
• In ordinary driving, UP arrow will disap-
pear when you release your foot from
the accelerator pedal.
If your vehicle is equipped with the adap-
tive cruise control and while it is working,
however, UP/DOWN arrow may be indi-
cated continuously depending on driv-
ing conditions. It means that the
indicated gear position is appropriate for
the current cruising speed.
• The indication of gearshift indicator tim-
ing may differ depending on the vehicle
condition and/or driving situation even in
the same vehicle speed and engine rev-
olution.
• If any of the electrical systems such as
the radar brake support system or the
ESP
® is working, the gearshift indicator
will disappear temporarily.

EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
The gearshift indicator is designed to
indicate the appropriate gear position
for your driving, however, this indica-
tor does not relieve the driver of any
responsibility to operate gear
changes attentively.
To drive safely, do not focus your
attention on the gearshift indicator,
pay attention to your driving situation
and shift up or down if necessary.

Example of the gearshift indicator
Indication Description
Lower gear position is selected for the vehicle speed and/or engine revolution. Changing to a higher gear posi-
tion is recommended.
• In this case, shifting up to 4th gear position is recommended.
Current gear position is appropriate for the vehicle speed and/or engine revolution.
• In this case, 3rd gear position is the best.
Higher gear position is selected for the vehicle speed and/or engine revolution. Changing to a lower gear posi-
tion is recommended.
• In this case, shifting down to 2nd gear position is recommended.

Automatically restarting the engine
54P000307
Depress the clutch pedal while the gear-
shift lever is in “N” (Neutral) position.
“ENG A-STOP” indicator light (green) (1) in
the instrument cluster will be turned off and
the engine will restart automatically.
NOTE:
If the engine stalled by a rapid clutch oper-
ation, the engine will restart with the gear
positioned “N” (neutral) and the clutch
pedal depressed.NOTE:
Under the following conditions, the engine
will restart automatically even if the engine
was stopped by the ENG A-STOP system:
• When the vehicle coasts down a slope.
• An engine stopped, and a few minutes
passed.
• Brake booster vacuum pressure is low.
• Vehicle battery performance is low.
• Blower speed selector is set to ON mode
and the inside of the vehicle has not suf-
ficiently cooled and warmed (for the
vehicle with automatic air conditioning).
• The defrost switch is set to ON mode (for
the vehicle with automatic air condition-
ing).
• Electric power consumption is high, such
as when the heated rear window switch
and heated outside rearview mirror
switch (if equipped) is “ON” or other
electrical components (audio, air condi-
tioning etc.) are operating.
• “ENG A-STOP OFF” switch is pressed to
deactivate the ENG A-STOP system.
NOTE:
When the engine restarts, the sound of the
audio may be interrupted.
This is normal and not a malfunction of the
audio system.

NOTICE
The ENG A-STOP system will not
operate and engine does not restart
automatically or the engine stalls
with warning buzzer under the follow-
ing conditions:
• Driver’s seat belt is not fastened
and driver’s door is open.
• Engine hood is open.
• If the gearshift lever is moved to a
position other than “N” (Neutral)
position without depressing the
clutch pedal.
When the engine stalls, restart the
engine by usual operation.

with keyless push start system)” or
“Starting engine (vehicle without key-
less push start system)” in this sec-
tion for details.
