Auto Idle Stop

To help maximize fuel economy, the engine automatically stops when the vehicle 
comes to a stop, depending on environmental and vehicle operating conditions. The 
indicator (green) comes on at this time.

The environmental and vehicle conditions that 
impact Auto Idle Stop system operation are 
varied.
