While decelerating your vehicle, the ISG
generates electricity without engine power.
This reduces engine loads and improves
fuel economy.
While decelerating your vehicle, decelera-
tion energy regenerating function will be
activated when the following conditions are
satisfied.
• The gearshift lever is not in “N” (Neutral)
position.
• The clutch pedal is not depressed (for
manual transaxle) or the brake pedal is
not depressed (for automatic transaxle).
• Engine speed is more than 1050 rpm
(for manual transaxle) or more than 950
rpm (for automatic transaxle).
NOTE:
The deceleration energy regenerating
function may not work depending on vehi-
cle conditions.
Engine power assist function
79MM03028
While the vehicle is running, ISG assists
engine power as a motor in limited condi-
tion. This reduces engine loads and
improves fuel economy.
While the vehicle is running with the
engine speed at approximately 3900 rpm
or less, engine power assist function will
be activated when all of the following con-
ditions are satisfied.
• Smart Hybrid system and ENG A-STOP
system are working properly. (“ENG A-
STOP OFF” indicator light is not blink-
ing.)
• The clutch pedal is not depressed (for
manual transaxle) or the brake pedal is
not depressed (for automatic transaxle).
• ABS/ESP
®
is not activated.
• Accelerator pedal is excessively
depressed.
• Lead-acid battery and lithium-ion bat-
tery are fully charged and inside tem-
perature is in normal condition for both
the batteries.
• Engine coolant temperature is in normal
condition.
• ISG inside temperature is in normal con-
dition.
NOTE:
• The engine power assist function may
not work depending on vehicle condi-
tions.
• 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
and A/C blower speed is likely to be dif-
ferent when the deceleration energy
regenerating function and engine power
assist function are active.
