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, ESC 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.
