in

the “N” (Neutral) position. The “ ” display/indi-
cator

turns off and the engine restarts automatically. System characteristics
E00202300055
The principle of the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) sys-
tem

is that it adapts to the vehicle’s needs (i.e. ener-
gy supply). This means that in certain circumstan-
ces the engine will not stop and in other circumstan-
ces the engine will restart by itself.
Circumstances when the engine will restart by itself E00202400027
l The
interior temperature rises and the air con-
ditioning starts operating in order to lower
the temperature.
l Electric power consumption is high.
l The brake pedal is depressed repeatedly. l
Vehicle
speed is 3 km/h (2 mph) or higher
when coasting on a slope.
l Mode selection dial is set to the demister po-
sition.
l When the air conditioning is operated by
pressing the air conditioning switch.
l When the preset temperature of the air condi-
tioning is changed significantly.
l When the air conditioning is operated in AU-
TO mode where the temperature control dial
is set to the max. hot or the max. cool posi-
tion (for vehicles with automatic air condi-
tioning).
Other than the conditions mentioned above, the en-
gine may restart automatically. For details, refer to
“Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system” on page 4-18.
Circumstances when the engine will not stop E00202500028
l Ambient
temperature is lower than approxi-
mately 3 °C.
l After the engine restarts automatically and
the vehicle stops again within 10 seconds.
l After the engine restarts automatically and
the vehicle remains stationary.
l Mode selection dial is set to the demister po-
sition (see illustration below). General information

Using the MIVEC engine*
The
MIVEC engine automatically switches its in-
take-valve control between a low-speed mode and
a high-speed mode in accordance with driving con-
ditions for maximum engine performance.
NOTE
l To protect the engine, the high-speed mode
may not be selected while the engine coolant
temperature is low.
Stopping the engine E00312600023WARNING
l Do
not operate the engine switch while
driving except in an emergency. If the en-
gine is stopped while driving, the brake
servomechanism will cease to function
and braking efficiency will deteriorate.
Also, the power steering system will not
function and it will require greater man-
ual effort to operate the steering. This
could result in a serious accident.
NOTE l If

you have to bring the engine to an emergen-
cy stop while driving, press and hold the en-
gine switch for 3 seconds or more, or press it
quickly 3 times or more. The engine will
stop and the operation mode will go to ACC. l
Do not stop the engine with the selector lever
in

any position other than the “P” (PARK) po-
sition (CVT). If the engine is stopped with
the selector lever in any position other than
the “P” (PARK) position, the operation
mode will go to ACC rather than OFF.
Put the operation mode in OFF after placing
the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position.
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Fully engage the parking brake while depress- ing the brake pedal.
3. On vehicles with M/T, press the engine switch to stop the engine, move the gearshift
lever to the 1 st
(on a uphill) or “R” (Reverse)
(on a downhill) position.

er to the “P” (PARK) position, press the en-
gine switch to stop the engine.

ating properly E00312500093
Insert the keyless operation key into the key slot in
the

glove box. Starting the engine and changing the
operation mode should now be possible. Remove the keyless operation key from the key
slot

after starting the engine or changing the opera-
tion mode. NOTE

the keyless operation key before inserting the
key into the key slot.
