To manually enable or disable the idle stop feature, press the "Auto Idle Stop" button located on the center console near the gear shifter. The system will automatically reset to its default setting each time the vehicle is restarted.
Ensure that the vehicle meets all conditions for idle stop activation, such as having the seat belt fastened, doors closed, and engine at operating temperature. If the issue persists, check for any warning lights or messages that may indicate a problem with the system.
The idle stop feature may increase the number of start-stop cycles, which can affect battery life over time. The vehicle is equipped with a high-performance battery designed to handle these cycles. Regular battery checks and maintenance are recommended.
The idle stop system's sensitivity or settings are pre-configured by the manufacturer and cannot be adjusted by the user. However, you can enable or disable the feature as needed.
The idle stop system primarily functions in stop-and-go traffic and will not activate under certain conditions, such as when the air conditioning is heavily used, battery charge is low, or the engine is not at optimal temperature.
When the idle stop system is active, an indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate to inform the driver that the engine has been temporarily shut off.
The main purpose of the idle stop feature is to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions by automatically shutting off the engine when the vehicle is stationary, such as at traffic lights.
When the idle stop system is active, the air conditioning and other electrical accessories may continue to operate using battery power. However, system performance may be reduced to conserve battery life.
The idle stop feature cannot be permanently disabled. It can be turned off by pressing the "Auto Idle Stop" button, but it will reset to the default on position each time the vehicle is restarted.
No specific maintenance is required for the idle stop system itself, but regular vehicle maintenance, such as battery checks and ensuring the engine is in good condition, will help the system function properly.
