Turning the Engine Off
WARNING
Do not stop the engine while the
vehicle is moving:
Stopping the engine while the vehicle is
moving for any reason other than in an
emergency is dangerous. Stopping the
engine while the vehicle is moving will
result in reduced braking ability due to
the loss of power braking, which could
cause an accident and serious injury.
1. Stop the vehicle completely.
2. (Manual transaxle)
Shift into neutral and set the parking
brake.
(Automatic transaxle)
Shift the selector lever to the P position
and set the parking brake.
3. Press the push button start to turn off
the engine. The ignition position is off.
CAUTION
When leaving the vehicle, make sure the
push button start is off.
NOTE

2.0)
 The cooling fan in the engine
compartment could turn on for a few
minutes after the ignition is switched
from ON to OFF, whether or not the

from ON to ACC or OFF, the KEY
indicator light (green) may fl ash for
approximately 30 seconds indicating
that the remaining battery power of
the key is low.
 Replace with a new battery before
the key becomes unusable.
 Refer to Key Battery Replacement on

When Driving
Instrument Cluster and Display
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 fi 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 C/type D 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 4-94 .
  Only the trip meters record tenths of
kilometres (miles).
  The trip record will be erased when:
