When Driving
Start/Stop Engine
i-stop indicator light (green)
When the light is turned on
 




 The light turns on while engine idling is stopped and turns off when the engine is
restarted.
 


 (Except European model) 
 The light turns on when the engine idling stop conditions are met while the vehicle is
driven.

When the light is À ashing






 (Manual transaxle) 
 The light À ashes when the shift lever is shifted to a position other than the neutral while
engine idling is stopped to notify the driver that engine idling is stopped.
  (SKYACTIV-G 1.3, SKYACTIV-G 1.5) 
 By depressing the clutch pedal or starting to release it, the engine restarts automatically
and the light turns off.
  (SKYACTIV-D 1.5) 
 By depressing the clutch pedal, the engine restarts automatically and the light turns off.

 The light À ashes when the driver's door is opened while engine idling is stopped to
notify the driver that engine idling is stopped. It turns off when the driver's door is
closed.
 

 
 If the engine is restarted due to low battery voltage while the engine idling is stopped,
the i-stop indicator light (green) in the instrument cluster À ashes for about 3 seconds.




 (Except European model) 


 
 (Automatic transaxle) 
 The light À ashes if the vehicle is stopped but the brake pedal is not depressed with
suf¿ cient force. Depress the brake pedal a little more strongly because the pedal force
may be insuf¿ cient.

i-stop OFF Switch

By pressing the switch until a beep
sounds, the i-stop function is turned off
and the i-stop warning light (amber) in the
instrument cluster turns on. By pressing
the switch again until the beep sounds, the
i-stop function becomes operational and
the i-stop warning light (amber) turns off.

function cancelled, the i-stop function
becomes operational when the engine is
started the next time.

When Driving
Start/Stop Engine
Vehicle Roll Prevention Function (Automatic transaxle)
Vehicles with the i-stop function are equipped with a vehicle roll prevention function. This
function prevents the vehicle from rolling, such as when releasing the brake pedal while on
a slope under the following conditions:
 


 While engine idling is stopped (prevents the vehicle from rolling back)
 When starting from a stop (prevents the vehicle's sudden movement due to vehicle creep) When the brake pedal is released, the braking force is maintained automatically depending
on the grade of the road.

Release foot from brake pedal Vehicle brake force maintained
Engine restarted Acceleration

4–23
When Driving
Start/Stop Engine
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the vehicle roll prevention function.  
 The vehicle roll prevention function is a supplementary function which operates
for a maximum of four seconds after releasing the brake pedal and accelerating the
vehicle from an engine idling stop condition. Over reliance on the system may result
in an unexpected accident if the vehicle were to suddenly accelerate. Before starting
to drive the vehicle, always con¿ rm the safety of the surroundings and operate the
selector lever, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal appropriately. Note that the vehicle
may move suddenly depending on the grade of the road, the vehicle's load, or if it is
towing something.
  Note that the vehicle may move suddenly after the vehicle roll prevention function is
released while the vehicle is under the following conditions:
 

 
 The selector lever is in the N position. 

 
 If the selector lever is shifted to the N position and the brake pedal is released
while the i-stop function is operating, the brake force is gradually released. To
accelerate the vehicle, release the brake pedal after the engine restarts and shift
the selector lever to a position other than the N position.
NOTE
  When the vehicle is stopped on a steep grade, the vehicle roll prevention function does
not operate because engine idling is not stopped.
  The brake pedal response may change, sound may occur from the brakes, or the
brake pedal could vibrate from the operation of the vehicle roll prevention function.
However, this does not indicate a malfunction.

NOTE
When the ignition is switched to ACC
or off, the odometer or trip meters
cannot be displayed, however, pressing
the selector can inadvertently switch
the trip meters or reset them during an
approximate ten-minute period in the
following cases:
 
 After the ignition is switched to off
from ON.
  After the driver's door is opened.
Odometer
The odometer records the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.
Trip meter
The trip meter can record the total distance
of two trips. One is recorded in trip meter
A, and the other is recorded in trip meter
B.

For instance, trip meter A can record the
distance from the point of origin, and
trip meter B can record the distance from
where the fuel tank is ¿ lled.

When trip meter A is selected, pressing
the selector again within one second will
change to trip meter B mode.

When trip meter A is selected, TRIP A
will be displayed. When trip meter B is
selected, TRIP B will be displayed.
The trip meter records the total distance
the vehicle is driven until the meter
is again reset. Return it to “0.0” by
depressing and holding the selector for
one second or more. Use this meter to
measure trip distances and to compute fuel
consumption.
NOTE
  (Vehicles with type B audio)  If the fuel economy data is reset
using the fuel economy monitor,
or trip A is reset using the trip
meter when the function which
synchronizes the fuel economy
monitor and the trip meter is on, the
fuel economy data and trip A are
reset simultaneously.
 Refer to Fuel Economy Monitor on
page 4-93 .
  Only the trip meters record tenths of
kilometres (miles).
  The trip record will be erased when: 



 The power supply is interrupted
(blown fuse or the battery is
disconnected).
 


 The vehicle is driven over
9999.9 km (mile).

If you have any problems with your trip
computer, consult an expert repairer,

Repairer.
Distance-to-empty mode
This mode displays the approximate
distance you can travel on the remaining
fuel based on the fuel economy. The distance-to-empty will be calculated
and displayed every second.


NOTE
  Even though the distance-to-empty
display may indicate a suf¿ cient
amount of remaining driving distance
before refuelling is required, refuel
as soon as possible if the fuel level
is very low or the low fuel warning
light illuminates.
  The display may not change unless
you add more than approximately
9 L (2.3 US gal, 1.9 Imp gal) of fuel.
  The distance-to-empty is the
approximate remaining distance the
vehicle can be driven until all the
graduation marks in the fuel gauge
indicating the remaining fuel supply
disappear.
  If there is no past fuel economy
information such as after ¿ rst
purchasing your vehicle or the
information is deleted when the
battery leads are disconnected, the
actual distance-to empty/range may
differ from the amount indicated.
