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.

Flashing
If the engine is started after the vehicle has not been driven for a long period of time, the i-ELOOP indicator light may flash. Leave the engine idling and wait until the indicator light turns off.

The beep will sound if the vehicle is driven while the i-ELOOP indicator light is flashing. In addition, if you turn the steering wheel while the light is flashing, 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 i-ELOOP indicator light stops flashing.
