PRECAUTION FOR BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Note
When the vehicle has not been used for a long period, the battery capacity decreases, and stop and start control is disabled. In this case, after charging the battery, clear the integrated current and run the vehicle for about 15 to 40 minutes.
Tech Tips
When the battery terminal is disconnected, since stop and start control is prohibited, run the vehicle for 15 to 40 minutes until stop and start control is enabled.
POINTS TO BE NOTED WHEN THE ENGINE STOP AND START ECU AND THE STARTER ASSEMBLY ARE REPLACED
Note
When the engine stop and start ECU is replaced, it is necessary to read the number of starter operation before the replacement, and to store this number in the new engine stop and start ECU. Moreover, initialization/learning of information for the air conditioner and initialization/learning of information for the deceleration sensor 0 point learning are also required.
When the starter assembly is replaced, the number of starter operations stored in the engine stop and start ECU must be reset.
POINTS TO BE NOTED IF THE ENGINE FAILS TO RESTART FROM IDLING STOP
Note
In case that the engine fails to restart from engine stop due to stop and start control, since the brake assist control becomes active, there may be sound from the operation of the brake assist control, and vehicle vibration may be generated.
Brake actuator condition:
When the engine fails to restart from stopping by stop and start control.
When the brake negative pressure is deficient.
When the vehicle speed is 3km/h or higher and the brake pedal is depressed*.
*: When the engine is not running.
Tech Tips
When the engine fails to restart from stopping by stop and start control and the brake negative pressure is deficient, the brake actuator is activated to ensure the braking force.
These are due to the activation of the brake assist control, and not due to malfunction of the stop and start system and the vehicle.
NOTE REGARDING PROHIBITION OF FOUR-WHEEL TOWING TRACTION
Note
When towing the vehicle, its front wheels or four wheels must be lifted.
Tech Tips
When the vehicle is towed while its four wheels touch the ground, the stop and start system may be impaired or damaged.
