When you stop the vehicle with the brake  
pedal depressed (CVT/DCT) or with the  
shift lever in “N” (Neutral) and clutch pedal  
released (MT), the engine is turned off  
automatically.  
When you release the brake pedal (CVT/  
DCT) or push the clutch pedal (MT), the  
engine is automatically turned on.  
The Stop/Start System or Idling Stop System  
will not activate under the following condi-  
tions:  
.
when the engine is kept idling without  
any driving after the engine is turned on.  
.
when the engine coolant temperature is  
low.  
.
.
.
.
when the battery capacity is low.  
when the battery temperature is low.  
when the vehicle is moved.  
CAUTION:  
.
.
The engine may restart automatically if  
required by the Stop/Start System or  
Idling Stop System.  
Place the ignition switch in the “OFF”  
position before opening the hood or  
performing any maintenance. Failure to  
do so may result in serious injuries due to  
automatic engine restart.

when the engine hood is opened with the  
engine running.  
when the engine is turned on with the  
engine hood open.  
when the driver’s seat belt is not fas-

battery.  
when the fan speed control is in any  
position other than “OFF” (0) while the air  
flow control is in the front defogger  
position.  
NOTE:  
For model with Stop/Start System or Idling  
Stop System, use the special battery that is  
enhanced in regard to the charge-discharge  
capacity and life performance. Avoid using a  
non-special battery for the Stop/Start Sys-  
tem or Idling Stop System, as this may cause  
early deterioration of the battery or a mal-  
function of the Stop/Start System or Idling
