i-ELOOP
i-ELOOP (Some Models)
The i-ELOOP system suppresses engine load used for generating power and improves driveability and fuel economy by generating electricity with the kinetic energy that is generated when the vehicle slows down by applying the brakes or during engine braking.
Stores large amounts of electricity instantly and efficiently uses the electricity for electrical devices and accessories.

i-ELOOP Control Status Display
The driver is notified of the i-ELOOP power generating status and the vehicle conditions by the control status display.
The i-ELOOP power generating status is displayed in the centre display.
Refer to Control Status Display (Search).
i-ELOOP Charging Display
If the engine is started after the vehicle has not been driven for a long period of time, an “i-ELOOP charging” message may be indicated in the display.
Leave the engine idling and wait until the message disappears.
If the vehicle is driven while the message is displayed, a beep sound is heard.
If you turn the steering wheel while the message is displayed, it will feel heavier than normal, but this does not indicate an abnormality. Stop the vehicle in a safe location with the engine running and do not attempt to turn the steering wheel. The steering operation will return to normal after the message is no longer displayed.
