The IMA battery charge level may decrease rapidly under the following conditions: • When the 12 volt battery has been replaced. • When the IMA battery has been disconnected. • When the IMA battery control system is correcting

its reading.

The charge level reading will be corrected automatically while driving.

If the IMA battery is too hot or too cold, the IMA battery’s output power is limited to protect the battery. This disables the IMA assist and Auto Idle Stop, even though the battery is well-charged.

It takes a short time to normalize the IMA battery’s output power depending on the weather.
