Driving Your Vehicle

ISG (Idle Stop and Go) System

~1min read

Your vehicle may be equipped with the ISG System, which improves fuel economy by automatically turning off the engine when the vehicle is stopped (for example: at a red light, stop sign, or in traffic).

The engine restarts automatically as soon as the initial conditions are met.

The ISG System is turned on whenever the engine is running.

✽ NOTICE

When the engine restarts automatically through the ISG System, some warning lights (ABS, ESC, ESC OFF, EPS, or parking brake warning light) may illuminate for a few seconds.

This is caused by low battery voltage. It does not mean that the system is malfunctioning.
