System Operation
The eAssist system is designed to shut the engine off or auto stop when the vehicle is NOT in motion, restart the
engine after an auto stop, and supplement engine torque.
The eAssist system provides an electric boost to the powertrain system during heavy acceleration and grade
driving. This boost enables the transmission to operate more efficiently. The added functionality of the electric
boost, engine auto stop, and early deceleration fuel shut-off results in fuel savings.
