In short;

  • Engine: Warmed up and drive for a bit and bonnet is closed
  • Battery: Good condition and charged
  • A/C: Is not set to and blower isn’t on full

In terms of regeneration, this is on overrun/engine braking. Having the clutch in and hitting the brakes will not charge the system.

And the system is designed to run as much of the car as possible off the capacitor, not the battery, this is why it won’t stop/start when the A/C is on demist/full blower.

Finally, manuals are great…

When the system is operable

  • The engine is warmed up.
  • The engine has been started and the vehicle is driven for a certain period.
  • The engine is started with the bonnet closed.
  • The battery is in good condition.
  • All doors, boot lid, and bonnet are closed.
  • The driver’s seat belt is fastened.
  • (Manual Air-Conditioning)
    • The airflow mode dial of the air conditioner is in a position other than ().
    • The airflow amount is other than the maximum airflow amount.
  • (Fully Automatic Air-Conditioning)
    • The airflow mode dial of the air conditioner is in a position other than ().
    • The temperature setting dial of the air conditioner is in a position other than maximum heating or maximum cooling (A/C ON) position.
    • The vehicle’s interior temperature and the set temperature for the air conditioner are nearly the same.
  • The i-stop warning light (amber) is not turned on/flashing.
  • The keyless entry & push button start system functions are normal.
  • The brake vacuum is sufficiently high.

    • The automatic transmission fluid has warmed up sufficiently.
    • The automatic transmission fluid temperature is not abnormally high.
    • The steering wheel is almost in the straight-ahead position (idling may not stop even with the steering wheel in the straight-ahead position if force is applied to the steering wheel. Release the force applied to the steering wheel to stop engine idling).
    • The vehicle is stopped by depressing the brake pedal.
    • Emergency braking is not applied.

When the system is not operable

  • The vehicle is stopped but the engine is kept idling.

    • The airflow amount is the maximum airflow amount.
  • (Fully Automatic Air-Conditioning)
    • The airflow mode dial of the air conditioner is in the () position.
    • The temperature setting dial of the air conditioner is in the maximum heating or maximum cooling (A/C ON) position.
    • There is a large difference between the cabin temperature and the set temperature of the air conditioner.
  • The ambient temperature is extremely high or low.
  • The atmospheric pressure is low (when driving at high altitudes).
  • (Automatic transmission)
    • The vehicle is stopped on a steep incline.
    • The steering wheel is not in the straight-ahead position while the vehicle is stopped.
