NOTE
If the shift lever is shifted from D/M position (not second gear fixed mode) to the N
l
position or from the D/M position (not second gear fixed mode) to the P position
while the i-stop function is operating, the engine will not restart automatically even if
the brake pedal is released. The engine will restart if the brake pedal is depressed
again or the shift lever is shifted to the D/M position (not second gear fixed mode) or
the R position. In addition, when the driver intends to get out of the vehicle while the
shift lever is in the N or P position (the driver's seat belt is unfastened and the door is
opened), the engine restarts. (For the purpose of safety, always keep the brake pedal
depressed when shifting the shift lever while the i-stop function is operating.)
