232 2-4. Using other driving systems
In the following circumstances the engine may not be stopped by the
Stop & Start system. This is not a malfunction of the Stop & Start system.
• Engine coolant temperature is extremely high.
• The air conditioning system is being used when the vehicle interior
temperature is extremely high such as after the vehicle was parked
under the hot sun.
• The air conditioning system is being used when the outside tempera-
ture or the engine coolant temperature is low.
• Vehicles with an automatic air conditioning system only: The wind-
shield defogger is being used.
• The battery is not sufficiently charged.
• Due to traffic or other circumstances the vehicle is stopped repeatedly,
resulting in the amount of time the engine is stopped by the Stop &
Start system to become excessively high.
When the above conditions improve, the Stop & Start system will stop and
restart the engine from the next time the vehicle is stopped.
