Turning the Engine Off
▼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. 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
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
A/C is on or
off, to cool the engine
compartment quickly.
If the system detects that the
remaining battery power of the key is
low when the ignition is switched
from ON to ACC or OFF, the
following is indicated.
Replace with a new battery before
the key becomes unusable.
Refer to Key Battery Replacement on
page 6-29.
A message is indicated in the display
of the instrument cluster.
Refer to KEY Warning Indication/
Warning Light (Red) on page 7-29.
If the engine is turned off while the
selector lever is in a position other
than P, the ignition switches to ACC.
▼ Emergency Engine Stop

▼i-stop
The i-stop function automatically stops
the engine when the vehicle is stopped
at a
traffic light or stuck in
traffic, and
then restarts the engine automatically
to resume driving. The system provides
improved fuel economy, reduced
exhaust gas emissions, and eliminates
idling noise while the engine is
stopped.

function stopped, the i-stop function
becomes operational again when the
engine is started the next time.
▼Vehicle Roll Prevention Function
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 the engine restarts after
releasing the brake pedal (prevents
the vehicle's sudden movement due
to vehicle creep), sudden movement
of the vehicle is prevented by
controlling the brakes.

CX-30_8KN2-EA-21L_Edition1_new 2021-9-15 19:39:56

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 2
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 confirm 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 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.
▼ i-stop Warning Light (Amber)/
i-stop Indicator Light (Green)
The i-stop system constantly monitors
the driver's operations, the vehicle's
interior and exterior environment, and

(amber) and i-stop indicator light
(green) to inform the driver of various
cautions and warnings.
NOTE
On vehicles equipped with the center
display, the i-stop operation status is
displayed in the fuel efficiency monitor
