NOTE
To ensure safe and comfortable use of the vehicle, the i-stop function controls engine
stop and restart automatically while constantly monitoring operations other than those of
the driver, such as the vehicle's interior and exterior environment, and the operational
status of the vehicle.
l
The engine stops automatically when all of the following conditions are met:
l
The engine has been started and the vehicle is driven for a certain period. The i-
stop function will not operate if the vehicle is not first driven, no matter how long
the engine is left idling. Also, after the vehicle is driven for a certain period and
then stopped, the i-stop function (automatic engine-stop and restart) operates only
once while the vehicle is stopped.
l
The engine is started with the bonnet closed.
l
The engine has warmed up sufficiently.
l
The vehicle is stopped.
l
The battery is in good condition.
l
The bonnet is closed.
l
All the doors and the liftgate are closed.
l
The driver's seat belt is fastened.
l
The windscreen defroster switch is off.
l
The temperature control dial for the air-conditioning system is set to a position
other than maximum hot or cold.
l
The vehicle's interior temperature and the set temperature for the air-conditioning
system are nearly the same.
l
The vehicle is driven at elevations of 1,500 meters (4,921 ft) or less.
l
The i-stop warning light (amber) is not illuminated or flashing.

The brakes are applied sufficiently (brake system vacuum level is sufficient).
l
The steering wheel is not being operated.
l
The shift lever is in the D/M position (not second gear fixed mode) or the N
position.
l
The automatic transaxle fluid has warmed up sufficiently.
l
The automatic transaxle fluid temperature is not abnormally high.
l
The steering wheel is positioned so that the wheels are pointed nearly straight
ahead (if force is applied to the steering wheel even with the wheels pointed
straight ahead, the i-stop function may not operate. Loosen your grip on the
steering wheel to allow the i-stop function to operate).
l
The brake pedal is depressed to stop the vehicle (if the i-stop indicator light (green)
flashes without the i-stop function operating, it is possible that the brake pedal has
not been depressed sufficiently. Depress the brake pedal a little more strongly).
l
Emergency braking is not applied.
l
The vehicle is not stopped on a steep grade in a place such as a multilevel car
parking facility.
