Auto Idle Stop
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.
Manual transmission models
1 Auto Idle Stop
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.
