NOTICE

When restarts engine by the ISG system, some warning lights (ABS, ESC, ESC OFF, EPS or Parking brake warning light) may turn on for a few seconds. This happens because of low battery voltage. It does not mean the system is malfunctioning.

The ISG system turns on whenever you switch the ignition on.

Deactivating the ISG

If you want to deactivate the ISG system, press the ISG OFF button. The light on the ISG OFF button will illuminate. If you press the ISG OFF button again, the system will be activated and the light on the ISG OFF button will turn off.
