Manual Transmission
There is adequate vacuum reserve
for the power brakes.
The engine will start again
automatically when you shift to first
gear. There is no need to start the
engine with the ignition switch.
It is recommended that you shift to
Neutral and release the clutch pedal
while stopped. Sitting with the clutch
pedal depressed and the shift lever
in gear will cause the engine to
continue running, defeating the fuel
economy benefits of the Auto Idle
Stop function.
During Auto Idle Stop, the IMA
charge and power brake vacuum
reserve is monitored by the system.
If either drops below a desired level,
and the shift lever is in Neutral, the
engine will restart so it can recharge
the IMA battery or replenish the
vacuum supply.
