If the battery is mostly discharged,
the Auto Idle Stop function is
disabled (see pages
and ).
This gauge shows the status of the
Integrated Motor Assist (IMA). If
the indicator is on the left side of the
gauge, the IMA battery is being
charged. If the indicator is on the
right side of the gauge, the IMA is
assisting the engine.
This gauge shows you the state of
charge of the battery for the
Integrated Motor Assist (IMA). This
battery is recharged by the IMA
motor, and discharged by the IMA
when it is assisting the engine with
powering the vehicle.
The gauge reading may drop near
the bottom under driving conditions
that require assistance for a long
time, such as prolonged acceleration
or climbing a long hill. The IMA
motor will recharge the battery as
you continue driving.
