Description

The Idle Stop & Go (ISG) function automatically turns off the engine when the vehicle stops, and restarts it as soon as the brake pedal is released. This not only reduces fuel consumption but also reduces emissions. The ISG function also has built-in driving safety and comfort sensitivity. The engine does not stop if certain conditions related to safety and comfort are not met (for example, when the engine oil is still cold, when the battery is discharged, or when the outside air temperature is below 3°C). It can be deactivated by pressing the ISG OFF switch on the lower instrument panel. Example scenario: engine stop at a red traffic light or in a traffic jam with frequent stops.
