i-stop Warning Light (Amber)/i-stop Indicator Light (Green)
To ensure safe and comfortable use of the vehicle, the i-stop system constantly monitors the driver's operations, the vehicle's interior and exterior environment, and the operational status of the vehicle, and uses the i-stop warning light (amber) and i-stop indicator light (green) to inform the driver of various cautions and warnings.
On vehicles equipped with the centre display, the i-stop operation status is displayed in the fuel monitor control status display.
