formed using the lock sensor, rec-
ognition signals will be shown up
to two consecutive times. After
this, no recognition signals will be
given.
●If the door handle becomes wet
while the electronic key is within
the effective range, the door may
lock and unlock repeatedly. In that
case, follow the fo llowing correc-
tion procedures to wash the vehi-
cle:
• Place the electronic key in a loca-
tion 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from
the vehicle. (Take care to ensure
that the key is not stolen.)

the engine when the shift lever is
in P (continuously variable trans-
mission) or the parking brake is
set (manual transmission) with the
engine running for an extended
period.
●The engine will automatically shut
off after approximately 1 hour if it
has been left running while the
shift lever is in P (continuously
variable transmission) or the park-
ing brake is set (manual transmis-
sion).
●The timer for the automatic engine
shut off feature will reset if the
brake pedal (continuously variable
transmission) or the clutch pedal
(manual transmission) is
depressed, or if the shift lever is in
a position other than P (continu-
ously variable transmission) or the
parking brake is released (man-
ual transmission).

cult to steer and brake, so you
should pull over and stop the
vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.
