CAUTION
• Do
not leave the driver’s seat or open
the bonnet. If the driver’s seat belt is
unfastened or if the bonnet is opened,
the “
”
display/indicator will blink to
notify the driver. If this occurs, the en-
gine will not restart automatically
even if the clutch pedal is depressed,
the seat belt is refastened, and the bon-
net is closed. While depressing the
brake pedal, fully depress the clutch
pedal and turn the ignition switch to
the “START” position to start the en-
gine.
For details, refer to “Keyless opera-
tion system: Starting” on pages 4-16,
1-20 or “Starting and stopping the en-
gine” on page 4-15.
• Do not move the gearshift lever to a po-
sition other than the “N” (Neutral) po-
sition.
If the gearshift lever is moved to a po-
sition other than the “N” (Neutral) po-
sition, the “
”
display/indicator
blinks and the buzzer sounds.
If the gearshift lever is returned to the
“N” (Neutral) position, the display/in-
dicator stops blinking and the buzzer
stops sounding. The engine will not re-
start if the gearshift lever is in a posi-
tion other than the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion.

the following cases, the Auto Stop & Go
(AS&G) system will not operate and the en-
gine will not stop automatically even if the ve-
hicle is stopped.
•
Driver’s seat belt is not fastened
• When the driver’s door is opened
• Bonnet is open
• After the engine restarts automatically,
the vehicle speed has not exceeded ap-
proximately 5 km/h (3 mph)
• Brake booster vacuum pressure is low be-
cause the brake pedal is depressed repeat-
edly or depressed harder than usual
• After the ignition switch is turned from
the “ON” position to the “START” posi-
tion, approximately 30 seconds or more
have not elapsed.
• After the engine restarts automatically
and the vehicle stops again within 10 sec-
onds.
• Engine coolant temperature is low
• Ambient temperature is lower than ap-
proximately 3 °C
• Air conditioning is operating and passen-
ger compartment has not sufficiently
cooled
• Mode selection dial is set to the demister
position. Refer to “ Demisting of the wind-
screen and door windows: For quick de-
misting” on pages 5-11, 5-15.
• When the air conditioning is operated in
AUTO mode where the temperature con-
trol dial is set to the max. hot or the max.
cool position (for vehicles with automatic
air conditioning).

as when the rear window demister or oth-
er electrical components are operating or
the blower speed is set to a high setting.
• Battery voltage or battery performance is
low
• Check engine warning lamp is illumina-
ted or the “ ” display/indicator is blinking
l
If the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system oper-
ates while the air conditioning is operating,
both the engine and the air conditioning com-
pressor will stop. Therefore, only the blower
will operate.
l
If the demisting function and the Auto Stop
& Go (AS&G) system are needed at the
same time, it is recommended to set the
mode selection dial to the Foot/demister posi-
tion. Refer to “Mode selection dial” on page
5-02.
l
If the air conditioning is operating, set the
temperature control dial higher to lengthen
the time that the engine is stopped automati-
cally.
