OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING
ENG A-STOP system
(engine auto stop start system)
(Continued)
• When the engine does not restart
automatically even if you operate
properly, start the engine using the
ignition switch or engine switch.
– Keep stopping on the road may
result in rear collision.
– In case the vehicle moves, the
steering and braking operation
will require more efforts.
The ENG A-STOP system (engine auto
stop start system) automatically stops and
restarts the engine without operating the
ignition switch or the engine switch when
the vehicle is stopped, such as at a traffic
signal or in a traffic jam, to reduce exhaust
gases and fuel consumption.
• When the vehicle will be stopped for a
long time or when you will leave the
vehicle unattended, turn the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position or press
the engine switch to stop the engine.

tion display. Refer to “Information display”
