When Driving
Start/Stop Engine
Vehicle Roll Prevention Function (Automatic transaxle)
Vehicles with i-stop 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:
 


 During idling stop (prevents the vehicle from rolling back)



 When starting from a stop (prevents the vehicle's sudden movement due to vehicle creep)
 The braking force is maintained automatically when the brake pedal is released and the
engine is restarted.
Release foot from brake pedal Vehicle brake force maintained
Engine restarted Acceleration

When Driving
Start/Stop Engine
WARNING
The vehicle roll prevention function is a supplementary function which operates for
a maximum of four seconds after releasing the brake pedal when starting the vehicle
after the vehicle is stopped with the i-stop function operating:
 
 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 confi rm the safety
of the surroundings and operate the selector lever, brake pedal, and accelerator
pedal appropriately.
  The vehicle could roll unexpectedly depending on 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 the idling stop does not operate.
  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.

i-stop Warning Light (Amber)/i-stop Indicator Light (Green)
To ensure safe and comfortable use of the vehicle, the i-stop function constantly monitors
the driver's operations, the vehicle's interior and exterior environment, and the operational
status of the vehicle, and uses the i-stop warning light (amber) and i-stop indicator light
(green) to inform the driver of the operation status of the i-stop system or related warnings.

 If any one of the following operations is performed after the engine has been
automatically stopped, the warning light illuminates. If this occurs, the engine does not
restart automatically for safety reasons, even if the clutch pedal is depressed (manual

NOTE
  After refuelling, it may require some
time for the indicator to stabilize. In
addition, the indicator may deviate
while driving on a slope or curve
since the fuel moves in the tank.
  The display indicating a quarter
or less remaining fuel has more
segments to show the remaining fuel
level in greater detail.
  The direction of the arrow ()
indicates that the fuel-fi ller fl ap is on
the left side of the vehicle.
(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
If inconsistency in engine performance
or stalling occurs due to low fuel level
conditions, refuel the vehicle as soon as
possible and add at least 10 L (2.7 US gal,
2.2 Imp gal) of fuel.
Instrument panel Illumination
When the light switch is turned to the
or position with the ignition switched
ON, the brightness of instrument panel
illumination is dimmed.
The brightness of the instrument panel
and instrument panel illuminations can be
adjusted by rotating the knob.
 


 The brightness decreases by rotating the
knob to the left. A beep sound will be
