This indicator will illuminate when the
engine enters the Idle Stop mode of the
ISG (Idle Stop and Go) system.
When the automatic starting occurs, the
auto stop indicator on the cluster will
blink for 5 seconds.
For more details, refer to the ISG (Idle
Stop and Go) system in chapter 5.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
When the engine automatically starts by
the ISG system, some warning lights
(ABS, ESC, ESC OFF, ESC or Parking
brake warning light) may turn on for a
few seconds.
This happens because of the low battery
voltage. It does not mean the system is
malfunctioning.
