conditions by the i-ELOOP indicator light 

and the control status display.

i-ELOOP Indicator Light

Illuminated (vehicle without type B 

audio)

The light turns on during power 

generation.

Flashing

If the engine is started after the vehicle has 

not been driven for a long period of time, 

the i-ELOOP indicator light may flash. 

Leave the engine idling and wait until the 

indicator light turns off. 

NOTE



  The beep will sound if the vehicle is 

driven while the i-ELOOP indicator 

light is flashing. In addition, if you 

turn the steering wheel while the light 

is flashing, it will feel heavier than 

normal, but this does not indicate an 

abnormality. Stop the vehicle in a safe 

location with the engine running and do 

not attempt to turn the steering wheel. 

The steering operation will return to 

normal after the i-ELOOP indicator 

light stops flashing.
