OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
79MH0-74E
“ENG A-STOP” indicator light (green) (1) in
the instrument cluster will be turned off and
the engine will restart automatically.
NOTE:
While vehicle taking off, if the clutch is
released too quickly leading to engine stall,
then vehicle can be restarted with gear
position in “N” (neutral) and the clutch
pedal deeply depressed, without cranking
the vehicle.
NOTE:
Under the following conditions, the engine
will restart automatically even if the engine
was stopped by the ENG A-STOP system:
• When the vehicle coasts down a slope.
• An engine stopped, and a few minutes
passed.
• Brake booster vacuum pressure is low.
• Vehicle battery performance is low.
• Blower speed selector is set to the “ON”
mode and the inside of the vehicle has not
sufficiently cooled and warmed (for the
vehicle with automatic air conditioning).
• The defrost switch is set to the “ON” mode
(for the vehicle with automatic air condition-
ing).
• Electric power consumption is high, such as
when the heated rear window switch is
“ON” or other electrical components (audio,
air conditioning etc.) are operating.
• The “ENG A-STOP OFF” switch is pressed
to deactivate the ENG A-STOP system.
NOTE:
When the engine restarts, the sound of the
audio may be interrupted.
This is normal and not the malfunction of
the audio system.
