Auto power off function
Vehicles with an automatic transmission
When the shift lever is in P, if the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY or IGNITION
ON mode with the engine not running for more than 20 minutes (ACCES-
SORY mode) or one hour (IGNITION ON mode), the engine switch will auto-
matically turn off. However, this function cannot entirely prevent battery
discharge. Do not leave the vehicle with the engine switch in ACCESSORY
or IGNITION ON mode for long periods of time when the engine is not run-
ning.
Vehicles with a manual transmission
If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode with the engine
not running for more than 20 minutes (ACCESSORY mode) or one hour
(IGNITION ON mode), the engine switch will automatically turn off. However,
this function cannot entirely prevent battery discharge. Do not leave the vehi-
cle with the engine switch in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode for long
periods of time when the engine is not running.
Operation of the engine switch
When operating the engine switch, one short, firm press is enough. If the
switch is pressed improperly, the engine may not start or the engine switch
mode may not change. It is not necessary to press and hold the switch.
