ENG A-STOP System
(Engine Auto Stop Start
System) - For Diesel Engine
Model
The ENG A-STOP system (Engine Auto
Stop Start System) automatically stops and
restarts the engine without operating the
ignition switch or the engine switch when
the vehicle is stopped, such as at a traffic
signal or in a traffic jam, to reduce exhaust
gases and fuel consumption.
• When the vehicle is stopped for a long
time or when you will leave the vehicle
unattended, turn the ignition switch to
the “LOCK” position or press the engine
switch to stop the engine.

The ENG A-STOP system is automatically
activated when the ignition switch is turned
to the “ON” position or the engine switch is
pressed to change the ignition mode to
“ON”.
The system activation also requires the fol-
lowing conditions:
• Driver’s seat belt is fastened.
• Driver’s door is closed.
• Engine hood is closed.
For more details, refer to the explanation
below.
EXAMPLE
WARNING
• Do not go out of the vehicle when
the engine is stopped by the ENG
A-STOP system. If the driver’s seat
belt is unfastened and the driver’s
door is opened, the engine will
stall.
• 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
DIN70”.
• Do not draw power from the battery
terminals for electrical products.
