This

paragraph summarizes the major items of the
Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system such as the char-
acteristics, operating procedures, etc. For details, re-
fer to “Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system” on page
4-17.
The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system reduces the
emission of exhaust gases and increases fuel effi-
ciency.
The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system automatical-
ly stops and restarts the engine without the use of
the ignition switch or the engine switch when the
vehicle is stopped, such as at traffic lights or in a
traffic jam.
Activation E00201600022
The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system is automati-
cally activated when the ignition switch is turned to
the

“ON” position or the operation mode is put in
ON. Deactivation

cator

turns off and the engine restarts automatically. System characteristics
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.
