*2: If ABS system is activated, drive the vehicle at 12 km/h (7.5 MPH) or more after stop the vehicle.

CAUTION:

• The stop/start system may be cancelled when the battery is weak or if a battery other than the stop/

start system specific battery is used.

• Even though the vehicle is in above conditions, the stop/start system may be cancelled automati-

cally.
Refer to 

EC-810, "Precaution for Stop/Start System Service"

.

Stop/Start Operation Condition

When the following conditions are satisfied, ECM stops the engine. And the combination meter turns ON a
stop/start indicator lamp.

NOTE:
During the operation of the stop/start system, the stop/start system continues operating even if the vehicle is
stopped by using the parking brake.

Restart Condition

When any of the following conditions is satisfied during stop/start system operating condition (gear position is
neutral), ECM restarts the engine. And the combination meter turns OFF the stop/start indicator lamp. 

*: Restart timing varies according to vehicle condition. For details, refer to RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VEHI-
CLE CONDITION AND RESTART TIMING.
NOTE:
In models with M/T, the stop/start system operates continuously even if the steering wheel is operated during
the system operating condition.

Restart Inhibit Mode

When the any of the following condition is satisfied during stop/start system operating condition, ECM inhibits
restart of the engine (go into a state in ENGINE STALL). In this case, the engine needs to be started with igni-
tion switch.

SYSTEM

*: When the condition is satisfied either door open or seat belt released, ECM transitions to the recovery wait-
ing mode (not ENGINE STALL) for approximately 5 minutes. In this case, the engine is able to start by clutch
operation.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VEHICLE CONDITION AND RESTART TIMING

ECM detects clutch pedal position based on the clutch pedal position switch signal and clutch interlock switch
signal. The engine restart timing varies with gear position, vehicle speed, and clutch position.

 Engine restart condition

x: Restart —: Not restart

NOTE:
If the above mentioned “Not restart” condition occurs during restart, ECM stops cranking and returns to the
stop/start system operating condition (engine stop).

ENGINE STALL ASSIST FUNCTION

The engine stall assist function allows the engine to start only with a clutch operation without operating the
ignition switch when a clutch operation is unsuccessful during vehicle start.
When an engine stall caused by a clutch operation error is detected, the stop/start system enters the recovery
waiting mode and ECM indicates the activation of engine stall assist function by illuminating the stop/start indi-
cator lamp. When the clutch pedal is depressed under this condition, the engine starts.
NOTE:
This function also operates at an engine start other than the one performed during stop/start system operation.
This function operates when the following conditions are satisfied:
• After engine warm-up.
• Vehicle stopped. (No vehicle speed input.)
• The battery is charged enough.
• No malfunctions in the engine control system and the stop/start system. (No DTC detected.)

EARLY START-UP CONTROL

ECM detects engine reverse revolution based on the crankshaft position sensor (POS) when the stop/start
system is activated and judges a piston position on engine stop to reduce the time for restarting the engine.

VOLTAGE STABILIZER FUNCTION

ECM transmits a voltage stabilizer signal to the DC/DC converter during cranking at an engine restart. The
DC/DC converter temporarily increases the voltage to prevent the electric equipment from reset due to low
voltage. The adoption of the DC/DC converter enables a stable power supply to the electric equipment con-
nected to the DC/DC converter and permits a substantial lowering of the voltage. For the electrical equipment
connected to the DC/DC converter, see “SYSTEM DIAGRAM”.
NOTE:
The brightness of the head lamps may be changed due to the voltage reduction at an engine restart because
they are not connected to the DC/DC converter.

ENGINE RESTART BYPASS RELAY CONTROL

ECM controls the engine restart bypass control relay and activates
the engine restart bypass relay. When the restart conditions are sat-
isfied, ECM turns ON the engine restart bypass control relay instan-
taneously right after the restart and opens the engine restart bypass
relay. This allows a current to pass the inner resistance circuit right
after the starter motor is activated. When the starter motor is rotat-
ing, the voltage is directly supplied to the starter motor without being
passed through the inner resistance circuit in the engine restart
bypass relay because the engine restart bypass relay is closed. In
this way, ECM enables the battery voltage stabilization and reduces
the battery deterioration rate by decreasing the battery voltage drop
resulted from cranking at an engine restart.
