Auto Idle Stop System - Overview
To reduce fuel use and to minimize tailpipe emissions, the auto idle stop system shuts off the engine by cutting the fuel injection. Based on inputs from various sensors and control units, the PCM may or may not allow auto idle stop under similar operating conditions. When auto idle stop is operating, the auto stop indicator blinks. If the driver's door is opened during auto idle stop, the auto stop indicator blinks and a warning buzzer sounds to remind the driver that auto idle stop is in operation.
