Driving your vehicle

Your vehicle may be equipped with
the ISG system, which reduces fuel
consumption by automatically shut-
ting down the engine, when the vehi-
cle is at a standstill. (For example :
red light, stop sign and traffic jam)
The engine starts automatically as
soon as the starting conditions are
met.
The ISG system is ON whenever the
engine is running.

NOTICE

When the engine automatically
starts by the ISG system, some
warning lights (ABS, ESC, ESC
OFF, EPS or Parking brake warn-
ing light) may turn on for a few sec-
onds.
This happens because of low battery
voltage. It does not mean the system
is malfunctioning.

Auto stop

To stop the engine in idle stop
mode

Stop the vehicle completely by
pressing the brake pedal.

You must reach a speed of at least
8 km/h (5 mph) since last idle stop.
The engine will stop and the green
AUTO STOP indicator (

) on the

instrument cluster will illuminate.
If your vehicle is equipped with clus-
ter type B, a message "Auto Stop"
also will appear on the LCD display.
