The IMA battery is charged at a
higher rate when the transmission is
in L (Low) mode (see page
If the battery is mostly discharged,
the auto idle stop function is disabled
(see page 229 ).
The battery level gauge does not
read the battery level directly. It
calculates the level by continuously
measuring the current flow, voltage,
and temperature.
Since the level is not read directly,
small sensing errors can, over time,
228 ). cause the gauge to read higher than
the actual battery level. The system
will then perform a correction, and
the battery level gauge reading will
drop suddenly. When this happens,
IMA assist and Auto Idle Stop are
disabled until the IMA battery is
sufficiently recharged by normal
driving.
Multi-Information Display
This correction of the battery level
indicator is normal and does not
indicate a problem. If the IMA
battery develops a problem or
deteriorates, the IMA system
indicator will come on. If this
happens, have the vehicle checked
by your dealer as soon as possible.
