OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
79MH0-74E
Engine Power Assist Function
While the vehicle is running, ISG assists
engine power as a motor in the following
limited condition. This reduces engine
loads and improves fuel consumption.
While the vehicle is running with the
engine speed at approximately 2500 rpm
or less, engine power assist function will
be activated when all of the following con-
ditions are satisfied.
• SHVS system and ENG A-STOP system
are working properly. (“ENG A-STOP
OFF” indicator light is not blinking.)
• Brake pedal is not depressed.
• ABS (if equipped) is not activated.
• Accelerator pedal is depressed slightly
for acceleration.
• Battery is fully charged and the battery
inside temperature is in normal condi-
tion.
• Engine coolant temperature is in normal
condition.
• Headlights are off.
NOTE:
• The engine power assist function may
not work while the battery capacity is
being checked right after the engine
start, and so on.
• The subjective feeling of the horn sound
is likely to be different when the deceler-
ation energy regenerating function and
engine power assist function are active.
Starter Motor Function
After the engine auto stop by the ENG
A-STOP system, the engine will be
restarted using a cranking power of the
ISG.
The starting with the ISG is quiet com-
pared with starting by the conventional
starter motor.
“SHVS” Indicator Light
79MH10205
“SHVS” indicator light will come on during
operation of deceleration energy regener-
ating function, engine power assist func-
tion or starter motor function.
Refer to “Warning and Indicator Lights” in
the “BEFORE DRIVING” section for
details.
ENG A-STOP System
(Engine Auto Stop Start
System) (if equipped)
The ENG A-STOP system (Engine Auto
Stop Start System) automatically stops and
restarts the engine without operating the
ignition switch or the engine switch when
the vehicle is stopped, such as at a traffic
signal or in a traffic jam, to reduce exhaust
gases and fuel consumption.
• When the vehicle will be stopped for a
long time or when you will leave the
vehicle unattended, turn the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position or press
the engine switch to stop the engine.
