i-stop WARNING LIGHT

• An i-stop indicator light has been adopted: For green illumination, an engine-stop by the i-stop control is permitted with the i-stop (engine stop control) permit conditions met. For amber flashing/illumination, the i-stop control is inhibited.

• If the following DTCs related to the i-stop are stored, the i-stop warning light (amber) flashes and the i-stop control inhibits the operation. (for details on the DTCs, refer to the Workshop Manual)

• If the i-stop warning light (amber) remains illuminated while the engine is running, i-stop is inhibited.The following malfunctions may occur.

• When any of the following conditions is met, the i-stop warning light (amber) is illuminated and the i-stop control inhibits the operation.

• Because a malfunction in the i-stop component part is detected (i-stop related module detects DTC), if i-stop operation is inhibited, the following malfunctions may occur.

• Any of the following i-stop component parts exceeds assured operation amount.

• For the illumination of the i-stop indicator light (green), the i-stop (engine stop control) permit conditions (40 items: For details, refer to the new vehicle technical guide) are met while the vehicle is being driven, and an engine-stop by the i-stop control is permitted.

• If the i-stop indicator light (green) flashes, insufficient brake depression (fluid pressure) is recognized due to a brake fluid pressure sensor malfunction, and the i-stop initiation conditions are not met.

• For the flashing of the i-stop indicator light (green), the i-stop control inhibits the operation because the brake fluid pressure is less than 1.25 MPa while the vehicle is driven in D or M range (other than 2nd gear fixed mode).

• There are 40 permit condition items for stopping the engine by i-stop control. (For details, refer to the new vehicle technical guide)

• If the following system controls are not completed, i-stop is inhibited because of fuel consumption loss.

• The i-stop lamp does not illuminate and i-stop does not operate under conditions of a lack of battery power, A/C operation, or during engine warming because various conditions such as the vehicle's power consumption balance, comfort in the cabin, and engine/emission warming need to be met to permit i-stop operation.

• To prevent the vehicle from moving during engine servicing or when the driver is not in the vehicle, the engine does not restart and is stalled if the bonnet is opened or a seat belt is unfastened while i-stop is operating (D/R position).

• To prevent vehicle theft, the engine stalls if a seat belt is unfastened and a door is opened while in D position and i-stop is operating. The engine is restarted in the N and P positions.

• To prevent the steering wheel from being operated, if the steering wheel is held in the straight ahead position (force is applied), i-stop does not operate.

• Because the system is set at a brake depression force level in which the vehicle will not lurch when the engine is restarted, i-stop operates with a light pedal depression while the i-stop indicator light (green) flashes.

• Even after the engine ends up being restarted by unintended brake operation, i-stop is re-operated in N position without the vehicle being driven so that i-stop can be operated.
