Insight II Auto Stop - From Manual
The auto stop function explained in the manual.
Auto Idle Stop
To help maximize fuel economy, your vehicle has an Auto Idle Stop function. Depending on environmental conditions and vehicle operation, the engine will shut off when you come to a stop
The engine automatically stops when:
The vehicle comes to a stop with the shift lever in the D position and the brake pedal pressed.
The engine may also stop when vehicle speed drops below 7 mph (11 km/h) with the brake pedal pressed
The engine will not stop automatically under the following conditions:
Vehicle speed does not go above 7 mph (11 km/h) after starting the engine
The engine coolant temperature is low
The transmission fluid temperature is low
The vehicle is stopped with the shift position in R, S, or L
When the vehicle is stopped on an incline
The climate control is in use and either defrost* or defrost/feet* is pressed
*The manual actually uses the icons from the climate control here, they won't cut and paste for some reason
The engine may not stop automatically under the following conditions:
The IMA battery charge is low
The IMA battery temperature is excessively high or low
The ECON button is off, and there is a significant difference between the ambient temperature and the temperature setting of the climate control system
The climate control system is in use to dehumidify the moist air inside the vehicle
The vehicle is stopped by braking suddenly
When the ECON button is on, the engine is more likely to stop. See page 124 for the ECON button
The engine automatically restarts when:
The brake pedal is released
Under the following conditions, the engine restarts even if the brake pedal is pressed:
The shift position is changed to R or L
The accelerator pedal is pressed
The pressure to the brake pedal is reduced and the vehicle starts moving while stopped on an incline
The IMA battery charge becomes low
The engine coolant temperature becomes low
The pressure on the brake pedal is repeatedly applied and released slightly during a stop
The ECON button is off, and the difference between the ambient temperature and the temperature setting of the climate control system becomes significant
The climate control system starts to dehumidify the interior
This indicator blinks when the Auto Idle Stop system is in operation.*
* Again the picture in the manual won't cut and paste.
If the driver’s door is opened while the indicator is blinking, the buzzer sounds to notify that the Auto Idle Stop system is in operation.
Hope this helps. And remember, when all else fails, RTFM. Cheers.
