E00202300026
The principle of the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) sys-
tem
is that it adapts to the vehicle’s needs (i.e. ener-
gy supply). This means that in certain circumstan-
ces the engine will not stop and in other circumstan-
ces the engine will restart by itself.
Circumstances when the engine will restart by itself E00202400027
l The
interior temperature rises and the air con-
ditioning starts operating in order to lower
the temperature.
l Electric power consumption is high.
l The brake pedal is depressed repeatedly. l
Vehicle
speed is 3 km/h (2 mph) or higher
when coasting on a slope.
l Mode selection dial is set to the demister po-
sition.
l When the air conditioning is operated by
pressing the air conditioning switch.
l When the preset temperature of the air condi-
tioning is changed significantly.
l When the air conditioning is operated in AU-
TO mode where the temperature control dial
is set to the max. hot or the max. cool posi-
tion (for vehicles with automatic air condi-
tioning).
Other than the conditions mentioned above, the en-
gine may restart automatically. For details, refer to
“Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system” on page 4-17.
Circumstances when the engine will not stop E00202500028
l Ambient
temperature is lower than approxi-
mately 3 °C.
l After the engine restarts automatically and
the vehicle stops again within 10 seconds.

the
brake pedal (CVT) or the clutch pedal (M/T),
you can change the operation mode in the order of
OFF, ACC, ON, OFF. CAUTION
l
When
the engine is not running, put the
operation mode in OFF. Leaving the oper-
ation mode in ON or ACC for a long time
when the engine is not running may cause
the battery to be discharged, making it im-
possible to start the engine, lock and un-
lock the steering wheel.
l When the battery is disconnected, the cur-
rent operation mode is memorized. After
reconnecting the battery, the memorized
mode is selected automatically. Before dis-
connecting the battery for repair or re-
placement, make sure to put the opera-
tion mode in OFF.
Be careful if you are not sure which oper-
ation mode the vehicle is in when the bat-
tery is run down.
l The operation mode cannot be changed
from OFF to ACC or ON if the keyless op-
eration key is not detected to be in the ve-
hicle. Refer to “Keyless operation system:
