The IMA battery is charged at a
higher rate when the transmission is
in L (Low) mode (see page).
The battery level gauge does not
read the battery level directly. It
calculates the level by continuously
measuring the current f low, voltage,
and temperature. If the battery is mostly discharged,
the auto idle stop f unction is disabled
(see page ).
The IMA battery is charged at a
higher rate when the transmission is
in LOW (L) range (see
page).Since the level is not read directly,
small sensing errors can, over time,
cause the gauge to read higher
than the actual battery level. The
system will then perform a
correction, and the battery level
gauge reading will drop suddenly.
When this happens, IMA assist
and Auto Idle Stop are disabled
until the IMA battery is sufficiently
recharged by normal driving. This correction of the battery level
gauge is normal and does not
indicate a problem. If the IMA
battery develops a problem or
becomes deteriorated, the IMA
system indicator will come on. If this
happens, have the vehicle checked
by your dealer as soon as possible.
