After the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system when the vehi-
cle is on an incline, brake force is temporarily maintained to prevent
rolling backwards until the engine is restarted and drive force is gener-
ated. When drive force is generated, the maintained brake force is
automatically canceled.
● This system operates on flat surfaces as well as steep grades.
● Sound may be generated by the brakes, but this is not a malfunc-

tion.

● The brake pedal response may change and vibration may occur,

but these are not malfunctions.

■

Operating conditions

●

The Stop & Start system is operational when all of the following conditions
are met:
• Vehicles with automatic transmission: The brake pedal is being

depressed firmly

• Vehicles with manual transmission: The clutch pedal is not being

depressed.

• The engine is adequately warmed up.
• The outside temperature is -5 

°C (23 °F) or higher

• Vehicles with automatic transmission: The shift lever is in D or S, or P

after driving in D or S.

• Vehicles with manual transmission: The shift lever is in N.

• Vehicles with automatic air conditioning system: 

 is off.

• The hood is closed. (

& Start system. This is not a malfunction of the Stop & Start system.
• The air conditioning system is being used when the ambient temperature

is high or low.

• The battery is not sufficiently charged, or is undergoing a periodic

or too high.

• The battery fluid temperature is excessively high or low.
• After the battery terminals have been disconnected and reconnected.
