2) Depress the brake pedal to deceleratewhile the gearshift lever is in the “D”
position will automatically stop the
engine before the vehicle is stopped
(approximately 13 km/h or less). At the
same time, the ENG A-STOP indicator
light (green) will remain on.
• The engine is not stopped automati-cally if all of the c onditions to stop the
engine automatically are not met,
even if the brake pedal is pressed
down to decelerate while the ENG A-
STOP indicator light (green) is on.
For details on the conditions for auto-
matically stopping the engine, refer to
“Conditions to stop the engine auto-
matically” in this section.
• To ensure safety when the engine is stopped automatically, the interior
buzzer may sound and the engine
will stall, or the engine may be
restarted.
75RM234
NOTE:
• The engine is not stopped automatically when decelerating without depressing
the brake pedal, for example, by using
engine braking.
• The engine may be stopped automati-
cally when the vehicle is stopped, even if
the engine is not stopped automatically
before stopping the vehicle (approxi-
mately 13 km/h or less).
• Electrical components, such as the navi- gation system or audio system, can be
used while the engine has been stopped
automatically, however, the air condi-
tioner switches to the ventilation posi-
tion.
• For the automatic heating and air condi-
tioning system, airflow is limited (only
under automatic operation) when the
engine is stopped aut omatically, in order
to improve the cooling and heating per-
formance.
3) When you remove your foot from the brake pedal, regardless of whether it is
before or after stopping the vehicle, the
engine is restarted and the ENG A-STOP
indicator light (green) goes off.
• The engine is restarted automatically
if the conditions to restart the engine
automatically are met, even if the
brake pedal is depressed.
For details on the conditions for auto-
matically restarting the engine, refer
to “Conditions to restart the engine
automatically” in this section.

NOTE:
The hill hold control system is activated
when the engine is restarted automatically.
4) After driving for a while after the engine is restarted automatically, the ENG A-
STOP indicator light (green) comes on
if the conditions allowing the engine to
be stopped automatically (standby con-
ditions) are met.

#1: After the ENG A-STOP indicator light (green) blinks, it goes off. Also, the interior buzzer may sound at the same time.
#2: Depending on the sit uations of malfunction, it is a normal restart or the restart as #1.
#3: The engine may be restarted automatically when the brake ped al is depressed lightly. In this case, when the brake pedal is
depressed again, the engine is sto pped automatically and the ENG A-STOP indicator light (green) comes on again.
#4: The steering force, not the steering amount, is a condition to restart the engine automatically when the steering wheel is operated.
Therefore, the amoun t that the steering whee l is operated when the engine is automatically res tarted may change depending on t he
road conditions or t he number of passengers.

If all of the following conditions are met,
the motor assistance function is function-
ing.
• To accelerate, the accelerator pedal is a
bit more depressed.
• For manual transaxle, the gearshift lever is in a position other than “N” (Neutral).
• For CVT, the gearshift lever is in the “D” position.
• The brake pedal and/or clutch pedal (if
equipped) is(are) not depressed.
• For CVT, when driving with the vehicle speed from right after starting to about
100 km/h and the engine revolution is
lower than about 3900 rpm.
• The time has elapsed one second or
more from the previous operation of the
motor assistance function.
• The ABS or ESP
® system has not been
activated. • The lithium-ion battery is charged more
than a certain amount, and the tempera-
ture inside the battery is within the speci-
fied range.

Be careful of the following when operat-
ing with the cruise control
Even if your vehicle is equipped with the
dual camera brake support, it cannot auto-
matically adjust to the speed of the vehicle
in front of you. Turn off the cruise control
system if you cannot operate safely at a
cruising speed.
Even in the following conditions, the set
indicator (5) will not go off and the cruising
speed will not be canceled.
• When the frontal collision warning isworking. If you depress the brake pedal,
the cruise speed will be canceled tempo-
rarily.
• When the stereo camera detects dirt on
the windshield and the dual camera
brake support stops functioning. For
safety purposes, push the cruise switch
(1) to turn off the cru ise indicator (4).
If the automatic brake system is working,
the cruise indicator (4) will turn off and the
cruise control system will be canceled.
Once you have determined that the condi-
tions are once again safe, reset the cruise
speed.
Changing speed temporarilyWhen the cruising speed is maintained,
you can temporarily accelerate or deceler-
ate.
To accelerate, depre ss the accelerator
pedal. When you take your foot off the
pedal, your vehicle will return to the set
speed.
To decelerate, depress the brake pedal.
The set speed will be canceled and the set
indicator (5) or “SET” indicator light (7) will
go off.
To resume the previously set speed, push
up the “RES +/SET –” switch (3) and turn
on the set indicator (5) or “SET” indicator
light (7) again when vehicle speed is
above 45 km/h (28 mph). The vehicle will
accelerate to and maintain the previously
set speed.
NOTE:
For CVT with manual mode or Auto Gear
Shift vehicle, when the cruising speed is
maintained, you cannot decelerate by
using the engine brake even if you down-
shift from higher gear to 3rd in the manual
mode.
To decelerate while the cruise control is
on, depress the brake pedal or push down
the “RES +/SET –” switch (3).
Changing cruising speedUsing the accelerator pedal
To reset at a faster cruising speed, accel-
erate to the desired speed using the accel-
erator pedal and push down the “RES +/
SET –” switch (3). The new speed will be
maintained.
Using the brake pedal
To reset at a slower cruising speed, decel-
erate to the desired speed using the brake
pedal and push down the “RES +/SET –”
switch (3). The new speed will be main-
tained.
NOTE:
When the brake pedal is depressed, the
set indicator (5) or “ SET” indicator light (7)
goes off until the cruising speed is reset.
Using “RES +/ SET –” switch
To reset at a faster cruising speed, press
repeatedly or hold push up the “RES +/
SET –” switch (3). Vehicle speed will
steadily increase. When you release the
switch, the new speed will be maintained.
To reset at a slower cruising speed, press
repeatedly or hold push down the “RES +/
SET –” switch (3) until the vehicle has
slowed to the desired speed, and then
release the switch. The new speed will be
maintained.

“RES +/SET –” switch quickly.Canceling cruise controlThe set indicator (5) or “SET” indicator light
(7) will go off and the cruise control will be
canceled temporarily with the following
conditions:
• Push “CANCEL” switch (2).
• Depress the brake pedal.
• For manual transaxle, depress the clutch pedal.
• For CVT, downshift from 3rd to 2nd in the manual mode (if equipped).
• For Auto Gear Shift, downshift from 3rd to
2nd in the manual mode.
• The vehicle speed falls more than about 20 percent from the set speed.
• Any time the vehicle speed falls below 40 km/h (25 mph).
• When the vehicle skids and ESP
® (if
equipped) is activated.
To resume the previously set speed, push
up the “RES +/SET –” switch (3) and turn
on the set indicator (5) or “SET” indicator
light (7). The vehicle speed must be above
45 km/h (28 mph) when the vehicle is not
under the above conditions. To turn off the cruise control system, push
cruise switch (1) and check that the cruise
indicator (4) or cruise indicator light (6) is
off.
Also, if the malfunction indicator light in the
instrument cluster comes on or blinks, the
cruise control system will be turned off.
NOTE:
If you turn off the cruise control system, the
previously set speed in the memory is
cleared. Reset your cruising speed again.
