system* E00201501057This paragraph summarizes the major itemsof the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system
such as the characteristics, operating proce- dures, etc. For details, refer to “Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) system” on page 6-19.

The AS&G system reduces the emission of
exhaust gases and increases fuel efficiency. The AS&G system automatically stops and restarts the engine without the use of the igni-tion switch or the engine switch when the ve-
hicle is stopped, such as at traffic lights or in
a traffic jam.
Activation
E00201601061
The AS&G system is automatically activated when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put in
ON.
Deactivation
E00201701091
You can deactivate the system by pressing
the “AS&G OFF” switch. Then the “
” dis-
play/indicator will turn on.

Type 2Type 1System characteristics
E00202301065
The principle of the AS&G system is that it
adapts to the vehicle’s needs (i.e. energy sup- ply). This means that in certain circumstancesthe engine will not stop and in other circum-
stances the engine will restart by itself.
Circumstances when the engine
will restart by itself
E00202400027

conditioning starts operating in order to lower the temperature.
l Electric power consumption is high.
l The brake pedal is depressed repeatedly.
