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 “ ” dis-
play/indicator will blink to notify the
driver. If this occurs, the engine will
not restart automatically even if the
clutch pedal is depressed, the seat belt
is refastened, and the bonnet is closed.
While depressing the brake pedal,
fully depress the clutch pedal and
turn the ignition switch to the
“START” position to start the engine.
For details, refer to “Keyless opera-
tion system: Starting” on pages 1-16,
1-20 or “Starting and stopping the en-
gine” on page 4-14.
• 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.

In 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
• 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 windscreen

on pages 5-07, 5-07.
l
When the air conditioning is operated in AU-
TO mode where the temperature control dial
is set to the max. hot or the max. cool position
• Electric power consumption is high, such
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 “Changing the mode selection” on
page 5-03.
l
If the air conditioning is operating, set the
temperature control dial higher to lengthen
the time that the engine is stopped automati-
cally.
