ISG (Idle Stop and Go) system
• Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged posi
-
tion. This is most likely to happen
when there is an accumulation of snow
or ice around or near the rear brakes or
if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk
that the parking brake may freeze,
apply it only temporarily while you put
the shifter dial in P and block the rear
wheels so the vehicle cannot roll. Then
release the parking brake.
• Do not hold the vehicle on an incline
with the accelerator pedal. This can
cause the reduction gear to overheat.
Always use the brake pedal or parking
brake.
ISG (Idle Stop and Go) system
Your vehicle may be equipped with the
ISG system, which reduces fuel con
-
sumption by automatically shutting down
the engine, when the vehicle 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 warning light) may turn on for a
few seconds.
This happens because of low battery
voltage. It does not mean the system has
malfunctioned.
Auto stop
To stop the engine in idle stop
mode
Stop the vehicle completely by pressing
the brake pedal when the shift lever is in
the D (Drive) or N (Neutral) position.
