• Electric power consumption is high, such
as when the rear window demister or oth-
er electrical components are operating or
the blower speed is set to a high setting.
• Battery voltage or battery performance is
low
• Check engine warning lamp is illumina-
ted or the “ ” display/indicator is blinking
l
If the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system oper-
ates while the air conditioning is operating,
both the engine and the air conditioning com-
pressor will stop. Therefore, only the blower
will operate.
l
If the demisting function and the Auto Stop
& Go (AS&G) system are needed at the
same time, it is recommended to set the
mode selection dial to the Foot/demister posi-
tion.
Refer to “Mode selection dial” on page
5-02.
l
If the air conditioning is operating, set the
temperature control dial higher to lengthen
the time that the engine is stopped automati-
cally.

E00627600037
Depress the clutch pedal while the gearshift lever is
in
the “N” (Neutral) position. The “
” display/indi-
cator in the meter turns off and the engine restarts
automatically.
NOTE
l
If the engine does not restart automatically or
if
the engine stalls, the oil pressure warning
lamp, charge warning lamp, and check en-
gine warning lamp will illuminate.
If this occurs, the engine will not restart even
if the clutch pedal is depressed again. While
depressing the brake pedal, fully depress the
clutch pedal and turn the ignition switch to
the “START” position to start the engine.
For details, refer to “Starting and stopping
the engine” on page 1-15 or “Starting” on
page 4-13.
CAUTION
l
In
the following cases, the engine will re-
start automatically even if the engine was
stopped by the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G)
system. Pay attention, otherwise an unex-
pected accident might occur when the en-
gine restarts.
• Vehicle speed is 3 km/h (2 mph) or
higher when coasting down a slope
• Brake booster vacuum pressure is low
because the brake pedal is depressed
repeatedly or depressed harder than
usual
• Engine coolant temperature is low
• When the air conditioning is operated
by pressing the air conditioning switch.
• When the preset temperature of the
air conditioning is changed significant-
ly.
