Auto Start-Stop System ON/OFF
The Auto Start-Stop system can be turned on
and off in the Center Information Display (CID)
by using the Auto Start-Stop button on the
Home screen.
NOTE: The system will default to ON after the
vehicle has been shut off.
When the Auto Start-Stop system is turned OFF, the Auto Start-Stop OFF
indicator light in the combination meter display will illuminate. This is a solid
yellow indicator.
System Operation
So that it can be used safely and comfortably, in addition to driver operations, the Auto
Start-Stop system is designed to constantly monitor the vehicle conditions as well as the
environment inside and outside the vehicle, in order to control stopping and restarting of
the engine.
After the vehicle has been completely stopped by depressing the brake pedal with the
select lever in the “D” position, the engine will be automatically stopped. When you release
the brake pedal with the select lever kept in the “D” position, the engine will be
automatically restarted.
If the engine is temporarily stopped by the system, the Auto Start-Stop
indicator light on the combination meter will illuminate in green. This indicator
light will turn off when the system restarts the engine.
Auto Vehicle Hold (AVH) also integrates seamlessly with Auto Start-Stop
functions. With AVH, the parking brake automatically applies, so you can sit without your
foot on the brake pedal. To restart the engine, just gently press down on the accelerator
pedal.
There are several operating conditions for this system to operate as intended. Please refer
to “Starting and Operating” in your Owner’s Manual for further information.
