AUTO START–STOP (if equipped)
The Auto Start-Stop system is designed to automatically stop and restart the engine when
the vehicle is stationary for a short period of time after the engine has warmed up (while
waiting for a traffic light or in a traffic jam, for example). The system operates in order to
reduce fuel consumption, exhaust emissions, and undesired idling noise.
Auto Start-Stop System
ON/OFF
If the Auto Start-Stop OFF switch
is pressed, operation of the Auto
Start-Stop system will be
disabled.
NOTE: The system will default to
ON once the vehicle has been
shut off.
The Auto Start-Stop indicator light on the combination meter illuminates in
yellow when the system is disabled. If the switch is pressed once more, the
Auto Start-Stop system will reactivate, and the Auto Start-Stop indicator light
will turn off.
System Operation
So that it can be used safely and comfortably, the Auto Start-Stop system is designed to
constantly monitor vehicle conditions, the environment inside and outside the vehicle, as
well as driver operations, in order to control stopping and restarting the engine.
After the vehicle has been completely stopped by depressing the brake pedal
with the select lever in the “D” position, the engine will be automatically
stopped and the green indicator will illuminate in the combination meter.
If you release the brake pedal with the select lever kept in the “D” position, the
engine will be automatically restarted. The indicator light will turn off when the system
restarts the engine.
There are several operating conditions for this system to operate as intended.
For more information, please refer to the Owner’s Manual.
