Stop and Start Priority Control System [11/2018 - 10/2022]: Description

In stop and start control status, there is normal status (Standard) and stop and start priority status (Extended).

Stop and start control status can be switched to the desired mode by pressing and holding the stop and start system cancel switch (eco run cancel switch assembly), or by operating the steering pad switch assembly, and the mode change is also shown on the multi-information display screen.

When the mode has been switched by pressing and holding the stop and start system cancel switch (eco run cancel switch assembly), a signal is sent directly from the stop and start system cancel switch (eco run cancel switch assembly) to the engine stop and start ECU.

When the steering pad switch assembly is used to select a control mode, a status change request signal is sent from the combination meter assembly to the engine stop and start ECU via CAN communication.

Cooperative control is performed by the air conditioning amplifier assembly and engine stop and start ECU based on the selected control mode.

When stop and start priority control (Extended) is selected, the operation time of stop and start control will be extended in order to improve fuel economy.
