I recently bought a 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid, but it came with no owners‘ manual, so I have some questions:1) The Auto-Stop feature on the car does not work at all times. I know that it does not come on if you are driving slower than 10 mph, but in some instances, I have been driving over 10 mph, come to a stop, and the Auto-Stop does not engage. Can anyone help me with this.2) By the radio/dash, there is an ECON button - what does this do, and how do I use it?Any help would be appreciated!!!

1) Auto-Stop feature works under certain conditions, the engine will shut off when you come to a stop. Those conditions are: The engine coolant is nearly up to normal operating temperature. The shift lever is in D or N. You are not pressing on the accelerator pedal. The IMA battery is charged enough to operate the system. The ECON mode is selected, and the outside temperature is above 41°F (5°C), or the fan speed control dial is off. 2) When you press the ECON button with the fan speed control dial on, the Auto Idle Stop works only if the outside temperature is above 41°F(5°C). The indicator in the button lights when the ECON is on. With the ECON on, you can get better fuel economy. You can select the ECON mode with the A/C on or off. In this mode with A/C on, you may feel a slight reduction in cooling efficiency. If you want more cooling, select AUTO.
like radiowaves, it can be used for sending signals to your TV, radio etc etc.
