gation system or audio system, have not been used for a long time while the engine was stopped, it may take some time until the
system can be in standby.
#2: If any of the warning and indicator lights affecting the ENG A-STOP system come on, the engine will not be stopped automatically.
#3: The system will be in standby even though the gearshift lever is in the "N" position, however, the engine will be stopped automati-
cally when the vehicle is stopped, instead of when it is decelerating (approximately 13 km/h or less) before stopping.
