56RM03004
2) After the vehicle has stopped with the
clutch pedal depressed and the gear-
shift lever shifted to “N”, and then
release the clutch pedal, the engine will
stop automatically.
The ENG A-STOP indicator light (green)
(1) will come on.
• The ENG A-STOP system will not stop
the engine automatically if all the auto-
matic engine stop conditions are not
met. For details, refer to the section,
“Automatic engine stop conditions”.
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 accident.
– Manual transmission vehicle – If
the driver’s seat belt is unfas-
tened or the driver’s door is
opened, the engine will stall.
– Auto Gear Shift vehicle – If the
driver’s seat belt is unfastened,
even if the brake pedal is pressed
down, or the driver’s door is
opened, the engine will be
restarted to warn you that the
engine was stopped automati-
cally by the ENG A-STOP system.
• If the engine does not restart auto-
matically after having been
stopped automatically by the ENG
A-STOP system, push 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 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
MARUTI SUZUKI genuine battery
specified in the Specification.

terminals for electrical products.
