If the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system oper-
ates while the air conditioner is operating,
both the engine and the air conditioning com-
pressor will stop. Therefore, only the blower

gine is stopped automatically, it is recommen-
ded to set the mode selection dial to the De-
mister/Face or Foot/Demister position.

perature control dial to 22°C or higher to
lengthen the time that the engine is stopped
automatically.

If the air conditioner is operating when the
ambient temperature is high, such as during
the summer, change the air selection from out-
side air to recirculated air to lengthen the
time that the engine is stopped automatically.

system. Pay attention, otherwise an unex-
pected accident might occur when the en-
gine restarts.

passenger compartment temperature
rises and the air conditioning compres-
sor operates to lower the temperature

tioning)
• Mode selection dial is set to the demis-
ter position (for vehicles with automat-
ic air conditioning)
Refer to “For quick demisting” on
