Idling Stop And Start (Iss) System - Mitsubishi Fuso CANTER Owner's Handbook Manual

Idling stop and start (ISS) system

<Vehicles with an idling stop and start (ISS) sys-
tem>
The idling stop and start (ISS) system is intended to
improve fuel consumption and reduce exhaust
emissions by automatically stopping the engine
when the vehicle is stopped and automatically start-
ing the engine when the vehicle is started.
WARNING
Do not coast down a hill with the engine
stopped automatically. Doing so will make
steering actions
extremely sluggish, which could lead to a
serious accident.
CAUTION
•
Be sure to keep the brake pedal depressed
while the engine has been automatically
stopped. Otherwise, the vehicle could start
moving, causing an unexpected accident.
•
When leaving the driver's seat, place the
starter switch in the "LOCK" position and
securely apply the parking brake. Otherwise,
the vehicle may start moving, causing an
unexpected accident.
•
In places where a strong magnetic field
exists such as near a magnet crane, press
the ISS cutoff switch to disable the ISS func-
tions. Otherwise, the system may malfunc-
tion, causing an unexpected accident.
•
When inspecting the vehicle, press the ISS
cutoff switch to disable the ISS functions. If
the system malfunctions during the inspec-
tion, an unexpected accident may result.
NOTE:
•
If the engine is going to be stopped for a long
time, be sure to place the starter switch to the
"LOCK" position to prevent the deterioration of
battery performance.
•
ISS stands for idling start and stop.
