Restart by Climate Control Unit

M/T model

The ECM restarts the engine from auto idle stop if it is requested by the climate control unit. The restart happens after you press the clutch pedal and shift out of neutral.

When a request to restart is received, the auto stop indicator blinks more quickly than normal.
