Driving
*: If equipped
■Stopping the engine
While driving with the D shift
position selected, depress the
brake pedal and stop the vehi-
cle. The engine will stop auto-
matically.
When the engine stops, the Stop &
Start indicator will illuminate.
■Restarting the engine
Release the brake pedal. The
engine will start automatically.
When the engine starts, the Stop &
Start indicator will turn off.
■When the brake hold sys-
tem is operating
 When the engine is stopped
by the Stop & Start system, if
the brake pedal is released
the engine will remain
stopped.
 If the accelerator pedal is
depressed while the engine is
stopped by the Stop & Start
system, the engine will
restart.
 While the engine is stopped
by the Stop & Start system, if
the engine is restarted, the
brake hold system will con-
tinue to apply the brakes,
unless the operation condi-
tions of the brake hold system
are no longer met. ( P.206)
■When the dynamic radar
cruise control with full-
speed range is operating
 When the vehicle is stopped
by the dynamic radar cruise
control with full-speed range,
the engine will stop automati-
cally even though the brake
pedal is not depressed.
 When the preceding vehicle
starts off, the engine will
restart automatically.
 If the engine is restarted by
the Stop & Start system while
the vehicle is stopped by the
dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range, the
vehicle will remain stopped.
Stop & Star t system*
The Stop & Start system
stops and starts the engine
according to brake pedal or
shift lever operation when
the vehicle is stopped, such
as at a stoplight, intersec-
tion, etc., in order to
improve fuel economy and
reduce noise pollution
caused by the engine idling.
Stop & Start system oper-
ation

3464-5. Using the driving support systems
Press the Stop & Start cancel
switch to disable the Stop &
Start system.
The Stop & Start cancel indica-
tor will illuminate.
Pressing the switch again will
enable the Stop & Start system and
the Stop & Start cancel indicator will
turn off.
■Automatic enabling of the Stop
& Start system
If the Stop & Start system is dis-
abled using the Sto p & Start cancel
switch, it will be automatically re-
enabled once the engine switch is
turned off and then the engine is
started.
When the engine is stopped by
the Stop & Start system when
the vehicle is on an incline,
when the brake pedal is
released, brake force is tempo-
rarily maintained to prevent the
vehicle from rolling backwards
before the engine is restarted
and drive force is generated.
When drive force is generated, the maintained brake force is
automatically canceled.

This function operates on flat
surfaces as well as steep
inclines.
 Sound may be generated
from the brake system, but
this does not indicate a mal-
function.
 Brake pedal response may
change and vibration may
occur, but this does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
■Points for use
●If the engine switch is pressed
when the engine is stopped by the
Stop & Start system, the engine
will not be able to be restarted by
the automatic engine start func-
tion. In this case, restart the
engine using the normal engine
starting procedure. ( P.193, 194)
●When the engine is being
restarted by the Stop & Start sys-
tem, the power ou tlets may be
temporarily unusable, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
