Leading the way in technology, Toyota introduces a new advanced Stop & Start System that automatically switches off your engine when the vehicle is stationary: zero emissions, zero noise and vibration. It restarts seamlessly in 0.4sec the moment you engage your clutch, with no delay in power. Feels good, saves fuel.

Immediate restart is possible, even if the engine has not stopped yet completely, due to a permanently engaged gear mechanism.

The starter motor drive transmission itself is not executed using a belt drive design - so there is no torque limit to the entire system, be it in hot or cold weather operation.*

This breakthrough system provides:
- Reduced fuel consumption in city driving
- Improved comfort with silent, smooth and immediate re-start

* Toyota Stop & Start System is designed to work under certain operating conditions, please refer to your retailer for more explanation and/or user manual.
