Eng A-Stop System (Engine Auto Stop Start System) (If Equipped) - Suzuki Baleno Manual

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
ENG A-STOP system (engine
auto stop start system)
(if equipped)
The ENG A-STOP system (engine auto
stop start system) automatically stops the
engine while waiting briefly at a traffic light,
etc., or decelerating to a stop, and auto-
matically restarts the engine afterward.
This system helps reduce emissions,
improve fuel consumption and lower
engine noise.
This system stops the engine temporarily
under specific conditions. Before parking
the vehicle for an extended period of time
or leaving the vehicle, properly apply the
parking brake and stop the engine with the
engine switch.
Once the specific conditions are met, the
engine will stop automatically while the
vehicle is decelerating to a stop (traveling
at approximately 15 km/h (9 mph) or
below). However, the engine will not be
stopped automatically during deceleration
until confirmation of the system function is
finished.
3-33
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with the auto air
conditioning system, you can change the
automatic engine stop condition via the
information display. Refer to "Information
display" in "BEFORE DRIVING" section.
CAUTION
• Do not get out of the vehicle while
the engine is automatically stopped
by the ENG A-STOP system. Doing
so may lead to an unexpected acci-
dent.
If the driver's seat belt is unfas-
tened or the driver's door is
opened, the engine will restart.
• If the engine does not restart auto-
matically after having
stopped automatically by the ENG
A-STOP system, operate the engine
switch to start the engine.
Trying to move the vehicle when
the engine has not yet restarted
requires a strong force to turn the
steering wheel or depress the
brake pedal, potentially leading to
an unexpected accident.
NOTICE
The vehicle equipped with this sys-
tem uses a dedicated high-perfor-
mance battery that supports ENG A-
STOP system. Accordingly, observe
the instructions listed below. If these
instructions are not observed, the
system may not actuate properly or
the battery may die prematurely.
• When replacing the battery, use a
SUZUKI GENUINE battery speci-
fied in the Specification.
• Do not draw power from the battery
terminals for electrical products.
