ENG A-STOP system (engine
auto stop start system) - For
Petrol Engine Model
The ENG A-STOP system (engine auto
stop start system) automatically stops and
restarts the engine without operating the
ignition switch or engine switch when the
vehicle is stopped, such as at a traffic sig-
nal or in a traffic jam to reduce exhaust
gases, 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
ignition switch or engine switch.
Once the specific conditions are met, the
engine will stop automatically while the
vehicle is decelerating to a stop (traveling
at approximately 3 km/h or below for man-
ual transaxle or decelerating to a standstill
for automatic transaxle). However, the
engine will not be stopped automatically
during deceleration until confirmation of
the system function is finished.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with the auto-
matic heating air conditioning system, you
can change the automatic engine stop
condition via the information display. Refer
to “Information display” in “BEFORE DRIV-
ING” 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
unfastened or the driver’s door is
opened, the engine will restart.
• If the engine does not restart auto-
matically after having been
stopped automatically by the ENG
A-STOP system, start the engine
using the ignition switch or engine
switch.
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
MARUTI SUZUKI approved battery
specification “Exide Conservo
N55”.
• Do not draw power from the battery
terminals for electrical products.
