When Driving
Starting the Engine
(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
• The starter does not rotate until the glow indicator light turns off.
• When starting the engine, do not release the clutch pedal (manual transaxle) or
the brake pedal (automatic transaxle) until the glow indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns off and the engine starts, after pressing the push button
start.
1. Make sure the parking brake is on.
2. Continue to press the brake pedal firmly until
the engine has completely started.
3. (Manual transaxle)
Continue to press the clutch pedal firmly until
the engine has completely started.
(Automatic transaxle)
Put the vehicle in park (P). If you must restart the
engine while the vehicle is moving, shift into
neutral (N).
4. Press the push button start after both the KEY indicator
light (green) (if equipped) in the instrument cluster and
the push button start indicator light (green) illuminate.
• If the clutch pedal (manual transaxle) or the brake pedal (automatic transaxle) is
released before the engine starts, depress the clutch pedal (manual transaxle) or
the brake pedal (automatic transaxle) again and press the push button start to
start the engine.
• If the ignition is left switched ON for a long period of time without the engine
running after the glow plugs are warmed up, the glow plugs may warm up again
which will illuminate the glow indicator light.
For details, refer to Section 4, “Start/Stop Engine”.

When Driving
Operation of i-stop Function
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.
Engine idle stopping and restarting
NOTE
• The i-stop indicator light (green) turns on under the following conditions:
• When engine idling is stopped.
• The i-stop indicator light (green) turns off when the engine is restarted.
Manual transaxle
2. While depressing the clutch pedal, shift the shift lever to the neutral position.
Engine idling stops after the clutch pedal is released.
3. The engine restarts automatically when the clutch pedal is depressed. 1. Stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal and then the clutch pedal.
Automatic transaxle
2. The engine restarts automatically when the brake pedal is released with the
selector lever in the D or M position (not in second gear fixed mode).
3. If the selector lever is in the N or P position, the engine does not restart when
the brake pedal is released. The engine restarts when the brake pedal is
depressed again or the selector lever is shifted to the D, M (not in second gear
fixed mode) or the R position. (For the purposes of safety, always keep the
brake pedal depressed when shifting the selector lever while engine idling is
stopped.) 1. Engine idling stops when the brake pedal is depressed while the vehicle is
driven (except for driving in the R or M position second gear fixed mode) and
the vehicle is stopped.Engine idling stop conditions are met while the vehicle is being driven. • (Except European model)

i-ACTIVSENSE
i-ACTIVSENSE is a collective term covering a series of advanced safety and driver
support systems which make use of a Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) and radar
sensors.
These systems consist of active safety and pre-crash safety systems.

vehicle or obstruction ahead, the beep sounds
continuously and a warning is indicated in the
display.
Collision Warning
The Smart Brake Support (SBS) system may not operate under the following
conditions:
• If the vehicle is accelerated rapidly and it comes close to a vehicle ahead.
Although the objects which activate the system are four-wheeled vehicles, the
radar sensor (front) could detect the following objects, determine them to be an
obstruction, and operate the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system.
• Objects on the road at the entrance to a curve (including guardrails and
snow banks).
• The vehicle is driven at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.
• The accelerator pedal is depressed.
• A vehicle appears in the opposite lane while cornering or rounding a curve.
• When crossing a narrow bridge.
• When entering an underground parking area.
• Metal objects, bumps, or protruding objects on the road. NOTE
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
• The brake pedal is depressed.
• The steering wheel is being operated.
• The selector lever is being operated.
• The direction indicator is being used.
• When the vehicle ahead is not equipped with tail lights or the tail lights are
turned off.
• When warnings and messages, such as a dirty windscreen, related to the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) are being displayed in the multi-
information display.
•
When passing under a low gate or through a tunnel or narrow gate.
• If you suddenly come close to a vehicle ahead.
• When driving in areas where there is high grass or forage.

For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ELOOP”.
i-ELOOP is a regenerative braking system. When you depress the brake pedal or
use engine braking, the kinetic energy that occurs is converted to electrical energy
by the power generator and the converted electrical energy is stored in the
rechargeable battery (capacitor and battery). The stored electricity is used as
power to charge the battery and the vehicle's electrical devices.
• A variable voltage alternator is incorporated in the power generator which
converts the kinetic energy to electricity and can generate electricity efficiently
according to the vehicle conditions.
• A capacitor is used to store large amounts of electricity instantly which can be
utilized quickly.
• A DC-DC converter is incorporated which steps down the stored electricity to
voltage useable by the vehicle's electrical devices.
