Smart Idle Stop and Go (ISG) System

Auto Restart Upon Leading Vehicle Departure

When the vehicle is stopped, the Idle Stop and Go (ISG) function will be activated. When waiting at traffic signals or in other similar situations, if the engine has turned off and the front camera detects movement from the vehicle in front, the engine will automatically restart.

The operating status is displayed in the AUTO STOPinformation within the cluster's Utility Information View.

  • If the Smart Idle Stop System has turned off the vehicle, it will automatically restart when you release the brake pedal, regardless of the automatic restart function.
