when the engine is not running may cause
the battery to be discharged, making it im-
possible to start the engine, lock and un-
lock the steering wheel.
l When the battery is disconnected, the cur-
rent operation mode is memorized. After
reconnecting the battery, the memorized
mode is selected automatically. Before dis-
connecting the battery for repair or re-
placement, make sure to put the opera-
tion mode in OFF.
Be careful if you are not sure which oper-
ation mode the vehicle is in when the bat-

from OFF to ACC or ON if the keyless op-
eration key is not detected to be in the ve-
hicle. Refer to "Keyless operation system:
Operating range for starting the engine
and changing the operation mode" on
page 1-09.
ACC power auto-cutout function

the operation mode in ACC, the function automati-
cally cuts out the power for the audio system and
other electric devices that can be operated with that
mode.
When the engine switch is pressed while the opera-
tion mode is in ACC, the power is supplied again
to those devices.
