the switch off:

Auto power off function
■
If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode (the engine is not
running) for more than an hour with the shift lever in P, the "ENGINE START STOP"
switch will automatically turn off. However, this function cannot entirely prevent bat-
tery discharge. Do not leave the vehicle with the "ENGINE START STOP" switch in
ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode for long periods of time when the engine
is not running.
Operation of the "ENGINE START STOP" switch
■
When operating the "ENGINE START STOP" switch, one short, firm press is
enough. If the switch is pressed improperly, the engine may not start or the
"ENGINE START STOP" switch mode may not change. It is not necessary to press
and hold the switch.
