Driving your vehicle
525
Idle Stop and Go (ISG) system
䳜 In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer
sharply. Instead, slow down
before pulling back into the travel
lanes.
䳜 Never exceed posted speed limits.
If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may
attempt to rock the vehicle free by
moving it forward and backward. Do
not attempt this procedure if people
or objects are anywhere near the
vehicle. During the rocking operation
the vehicle may suddenly move for
-
ward or backward as it becomes
unstuck, causing injury or damage
to nearby people or objects.
Moving up a steep grade from a
standing start
To move up a steep grade from a
standing start, depress the brake
pedal:
䳜 Shift the shift lever to D (Drive).
Select the appropriate gear
depending on load weight and
steepness of the grade, and
release the parking brake.
Depress the accelerator gradually
after releasing the brake pedal.
Idle Stop and Go (ISG) system (if
equipped)
The Idle Stop and Go (ISG) system
reduces fuel consumption by auto
-
matically shutting down the engine
when the vehicle is at a standstill.
(For example: red light, stop sign
and traffic jam)
The engine starts automatically as
soon as the starting conditions are
met.
The ISG is ON whenever the engine
is running.
When the engine automatically
starts by the ISG system, some
warning lights (ABS, ESC, ESC OFF,
EPS or Parking brake warning light)
may turn on for a few seconds.
This happens because of low bat
-
tery voltage. It does not mean the
system has malfunctioned.
Auto stop
If you depress the brake pedal and
the vehicle comes to a stop with the
ISG ON, the engine will stop auto
-
matically.
Stop the vehicle completely by
pressing the brake pedal when the
shift lever is in the D (Drive) or N
(Neutral) position.
