in the D position, the engine will not stop
automatically.
The engine may be automatically stopped
by the system when all of the following
conditions are met.
. the engine is sufficiently warmed up
. the high voltage battery and 12 V
engine restart battery are in good condi-
tion (plenty of electric power remains and
the temperature is within the specified
temperature range)
. the
mode or mode of the
climate control system is not selected
. the climate control function is not used
orusedwithanegligibletemperature
difference between the setting tempera-
ture and the temp erature i nside the
vehicle.
. the outside temperature is higher than
approximately 148F(108C)
. the CHECK ENGINE warning light/
malfunction indicator light is off
. the vehicle is not stopped on a road
that has a steep slope
. negative pressure in the brake booster
is sufficient
. the brake pedal is firmly depressed
after it has been depressed to decelerate
or stop the vehicle (The system may not
operate in some cases if the brake pedal
is not fully depressed or if the brake is
applied suddenly.)

restart battery are disconnected
after replacing the battery
Also, in the following cases, the length of
time that the engine is temporarily stopped
by the system may be shorter.

or when it is low (because the air condi-
tioner or heater can no longer maintain the
set temperature)
. when consumption o f electricity by
electrical components is high
