SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle
by Suzuki) (for K12C engine
model and K12D engine
model) (if equipped)
SHVS has an Integrated Starter Generator
(ISG) instead of conventional generator to
get a better fuel consumption.
Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) is a gen-
erator which incorporates a motor function.
The ISG has the following 3 functions.
• Deceleration energy regenerating func-
tion
• Engine power assist function
• Starter motor function
Deceleration energy regenerating
function
52RM30420
While decelerating your vehicle, the ISG
generates electricity without engine power.
This reduces engine loads and improves
fuel consumption.
While decelerating your vehicle, decelera-
tion energy regenerating function will be
activated when the following conditions are
satisfied.
• Gearshift lever is not in “N” (Neutral).
• Clutch pedal is not depressed.
• Inside temperature of lead-acid battery
is in normal condition.
• Lithium-ion battery is not fully charged and
inside temperature is in normal condition.
etc.
NOTE:
The deceleration energy regenerating
function may not work depending on vehi-
cle conditions.
Engine power assist function
52RM30430
While the vehicle is running, ISG assists
engine power as a motor in the following
limited condition. This reduces engine
loads and improves fuel consumption.
While the vehicle is running with the
engine speed at approximately 3900 rpm
or less, engine power assist function will
be activated when all of the following con-
ditions are satisfied.
• SHVS system and ENG A-STOP system
are working properly. (ENG A-STOP
OFF indicator light is not blinking.)
WARNING
Dripping engine oil, brake fluid and
coolant, etc. to the ISG may cause a
fire or malfunction. Do not spill them
when pouring.
