Idle Stop and Go (ISG) system

The Idle Stop and Go (ISG) system reduces fuel consumption by automatically shutting down the engine when the vehicle is at a standstill. (For example: red light, stop sign and traffic jam)

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

The ISG is ON whenever the engine is running.
