Your vehicle may be equipped with an ISG system, which reduces fuel consumption by automatically shutting off the engine when the vehicle is stopped. (Example: red light, stop sign and traffic jam)

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

The ISG system is activated whenever the engine is running.

NOTICE

When the engine is automatically restarted by the ISG system, some warning lights (ABS, ESC, ESC OFF, EPS or parking brake warning light) may come on for a few seconds. This occurs due to low battery voltage. It does not mean the system has malfunctioned.
