such as at an intersection, the automatic en‐
gine stop can be actively prevented.

brake pedal
The engine stop can be actively prevented
within one second after the vehicle comes to a
standstill.
▷ Immediately after the vehicle comes to a
standstill, briefly press the brake pedal
forcefully.
▷ Then press the brake pedal with normal
braking force.
