SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle
by Suzuki) (for K14D engine
model)
The SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by
Suzuki) of this vehicle is a system that
uses generators with motor function (ISG)
to operate the following functions accord-
ing to the driving situations, to increase
quietness of the engine and fuel efficiency.
ISG stands for Integrated Starter Genera-
tor.
• Deceleration energy regenerating func-
tion:
This function generates intensively
during deceleration by using the ISG.
When generation while driving is not
required, the ISG can be stopped to
reduce the load on the engine, leading to
improved fuel economy.
• Motor assistance function:
This function assists the engine by using
the ISG as a motor to reduce the power
output of the engine while driving nor-
mally or adds the motor power to the
engine while accelerating. These opera-
tions improve fuel economy and acceler-
ating performance.
• Starter motor function:
This function restarts the engine after
being stopped by the ENG A-STOP sys-
tem by using the ISG through the drive
belt.
NOTE:
When you restart the engine by pushing
the engine switch, the ordinary starter
motor is used and you will hear a gear
engagement noise.
Energy flow indicator
With the energy flow indicator in the instru-
ment cluster, you can check whether or not
the ISG is functioning.
• Normal driving conditions:
The ISG is not functioning.
