M/T model

  1. Check under these conditions:
    • Altitude 2, 500 m (8, 200 ft) or lower (At higher altitudes, auto idle stop is often prevented because of the lack of vacuum in the brake booster).
    • The low temperature indicator does not come on.
    • The IMA battery level gauge displays at least half of its scale.
    • All electrical items (headlights, blower fan, radiator fan, rear window defogger, A/C, etc.) are off.
    • Any indicator does not come on.
    • No heavy load in the vehicle (A heavy load prevents auto idle stop because the system "thinks" the vehicle is going uphill).
    • Drive the vehicle on a flat road or downhill.
  2. Start the engine.
  3. Test-drive under these conditions:
    • Drive the vehicle at 25 mph (40 km/h), then press the clutch pedal fully, and stop the vehicle within 5 - 15 seconds.
    • Press and hold the brake pedal until the vehicle stops (do not pump the brake pedal).
    • Keep the brake pedal pressed after the vehicle stops.
      NOTE: The clutch pedal must be fully pressed when the vehicle is stopped for auto idle stop to work.
  4. Repeat step  3 several times, then check the auto idle stop system.
    NOTE: During auto idle stop, the engine restarts when the clutch pedal is fully pressed and the shift lever is moved to 1st gear.
