Auto Idle Stop (Manual Transmission)
To help maximize fuel economy, the engine automatically stops when the vehicle
comes to a stop, depending on environmental and vehicle operating conditions. The
AUTO STOP indicator blinks at this time. The engine then restarts once the vehicle
is about to move again when you depress the clutch pedal fully, and the indicator
goes off.
If the driver’s door is opened while the
indicator is blinking, a buzzer sounds to notify
you that the auto idle stop function is in
operation.
Auto Idle Stop (Manual Transmission)
If the Auto Idle Stop operating time lasts long
enough to lower the 12 volt battery charge or the
IMA battery charge, the engine may not restart
automatically.
Manually turn off the engine when you leave your
vehicle.
The duration of auto idle stop operation:
Increases • in the ECON mode compared to
normal or sport mode with climate control in
use.
Decreases
• if you operate the wipers and climate
control simultaneously.
