switch is turned to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without smart
entry & start system) or off (vehicles with smart entry & start sys-
tem), and then the engine is started.
■If the Stop & Start cancel switch is pressed while the vehicle is
stopped
● When the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system, pressing
the Stop & Start cancel switch will restart the engine.

From the next time the vehicle is stopped (after Stop & Start sys-
tem has been turned on), the engine will be stopped.
If the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system when the vehicle is
on an incline, brake force is temporarily maintained to prevent rolling
backwards until the engine is restarted and drive force is generated.
When drive force is generated, the maintained brake force is automat-
ically canceled.
● This function operates on flat surfaces as well as steep incline.
● 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.
