Auto Idle Stop System: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

To reduce fuel use and to minimize tailpipe emissions, auto idle stop system shuts off the engine by stopping fuel injection when the vehicle comes to a stop.

Based on inputs from various sensors and control units, the PCM may or may not allow auto idle stop under different operating conditions.
