Engine Compartment Inspection/Servicing

The Insight has an Auto-Stop system that shuts the engine off under certain conditions to improve fuel economy while the vehicle is at a stop. In Auto-Stop mode, driver input, such as pressing the clutch with the transmission in gear, will cause the engine to restart.

Before servicing the Insight, turn the ignition switch OFF and remove the key so the engine cannot be started.

Before performing any service on the Insight's IMA system, make sure to turn the battery module switch OFF and wait five minutes before working on the vehicle (see SERVICE PRECAUTIONS ).
