When the vehicle stops with the gear position in Drive (D) and the brake pedal is pressed, the engine turns off and the auto idle stop indicator appears.
- If you put the transmission into Park (P) after the Auto Idle Stop activates, the Auto Idle Stop continues to operate even if the brake pedal is released. If you change the gear position, the engine may automatically restart.
- If you release the brake pedal, turn the steering wheel, or press the accelerator pedal, the engine restarts and the vehicle begins to move.
Auto idle stop may not activate (or the engine may automatically restart) when the engine is warming up, the air conditioning system is on, the 12V battery is charging, or when other conditions are met.
