The ESS system aids in attaining better fuel efficiency of your vehicle and thus reducing your running costs. However, the mileage
improvement will depend upon various parameters such as prevailing traffic, driving patterns, etc.
2. What are the other advantages of this system?
• Since the engine is switched off during traffic signals/ jams, considerable amount of carbon dioxide release to the atmosphere is
avoided. This reduces global warming and thus provides us with a sustainable planet to live in.
• Ability to restart the engine by pressing the clutch pedal
• Reduces noise pollution at traffic signals
3. Is it possible to start the engine through the clutch pedal for the first time?
No, the engine can be cranked only with the ignition key for the first time. If the engine is stopped automatically by the system, only then it
is possible to start the engine through the clutch
4. Whether the system will get activated as soon as the engine is started the first time with the ignition key?
The system will get activated only after the completion of engine temperature dependent warm up period which may extend up to 15
minutes. This is to ensure better performance of the engine in terms of fuel economy and durability.
5. Are there any safety precautions to be followed?
Yes, when the engine is turned OFF at traffic signals/jams with heavy electrical loads like head lamp or AC switched ‘ON’. If the duration
of such stops are long, it is recommended to keep the engine ‘ON’ and the ESS system in ‘OFF’ position.
6. What is to be done, if I don’t want the system to stop my engine at traffic signals/jams?
The system can be turned OFF by switching OFF the Stop/ Start selection switch.
7. Whether the A/C will function, if the engine is switched off?
No, the A/C will not work. However the blower will be in operation when the ignition is ON.
8. What will happen if I keep the clutch continuously pressed at traffic signals/jams?
