Let’s take a simple example of driving in traffic conditions within
your city. Assume that your vehicle has stopped at a traffic junction
due to a red signal. The following steps illustrate how the system
functions:
•
The vehicle has come to a halt at a traffic signal, is in the neutral
gear and the clutch pedal is released
•
The ‘ESS’ lamp in the cluster will blink indicating that the engine
is going to stop shortly. The engine will shut down automatically
after a specific time period
•
The ‘ESS’ lamp will illuminate in the instrument cluster indicating
the engine was stopped by the ESS system
•
Once the signal turns green, press the clutch pedal and the
engine starts immediately
•
The indicator in the cluster goes OFF indicating that the engine
has started again and you are ready to drive on
