Basic Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
GNSJSBIB0176GB-176Courtesy of NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.

When the stop/start system readiness conditions are satisfied while the vehicle is moving, the system is ready.

When the stop/start system operation conditions are satisfied while the vehicle is in a stop condition, the engine is stopped.

During stop/start system operation, stopping time, the amount of fuel saved by the stop/start system and CO 2 saved information are indicated on the combination meter. (With dot matrix information display. Refer to System Description .)

When the engine restart conditions are satisfied, ECM and EMCM activate relays to restart the engine.

After restarting the engine, the stop/start indicator lamp and the indication on the information display turn OFF.

Stop/Start Readiness Condition 

ECM and EMCM judge stop/start system is ready when the following conditions are satisfied.

NOTE: The stop/start system may be cancelled when the battery is weak or if a battery other than the stop/start system specific battery is used.

Permit

*1: When ABS system is activated, drive the vehicle at 12 km/h (7.5 MPH) or more after stop the vehicle.

*2: Stop/Start system might not be activated at ambient temperature of 2 deg.C (36 deg.F) or more because a battery temperature varies with driving conditions.

*3: EMCM judges a battery deterioration condition.

*4: The voltage varies with a electric load when the ignition switch is turned ON.

*5: This condition is monitored when the battery is judged to be deterioration by EMCM.

*6: If the operation count reaches the threshold, ECM detects related DTC P1D06.

Stop/Start Operation Condition 

When all of the following conditions is satisfied, ECM stops the engine.

*: EMCM calculates a brake pedal status based on the brake pedal position switch signal and the brake fluid pressure sensor signal. And then, EMCM transmits a brake pedal position signal to ECM via CAN communication.

Restart Condition 

When any of the following conditions is satisfied, ECM restarts the engine, and the combination meter turns OFF the stop/start indicator lamp.

Restart Inhibit Mode 

When open the "hood" under the stop/start system operating condition (engine stop), ECM inhibits restarting the engine (engine stall). In this case, start the engine with ignition switch for restart.
