To prevent battery discharge

■
● Do not leave the engine switch in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode
for long periods of time without the engine running.
Vehicles with a drive monitor display: If the smart entry & start system indi-
●
cator (green) is illuminated, the engine switch is not off. When exiting the
vehicle, always check that the engine switch is off.
● Vehicles with a multi-information display: If "ACCESSORY" or "IGNITION
ON" is displayed on the multi-information display, the engine switch is not
off. When exiting the vehicle, always check that the engine switch is off.
On vehicles with a continuously variable transmission, do not stop the

engine when the shift lever is in a position other than P. If the engine is
stopped in another shift lever position, the engine switch will not be turned
off but instead be turned to ACCESSORY mode. If the vehicle is left in
ACCESSORY mode, battery discharge may occur.
