depressing the clutch pedal will restart the
engine consuming fuel. Therefore, for fuel
economy, it is recommended to depress
the clutch pedal just before the vehicle
start.
• Without depressing the clutch pedal, the
engine may restart automatically if the
automatic engine restart conditions are
met.
For details, refer to “Conditions to restart
the engine automatically” (P.5-29).
NOTE:
When the engine is restarted automati-
cally, the following conditions may be
found as the hill hold control system is acti-
vated, but this is not a malfunction.
• You may hear a sound from the engine
room.
• As brake pedal becomes heavy, it may
be difficult for you to depress it.

matically” (P.5-28).
