ENG A-STOP OFF light
69T051230
If this indicator blinks when driving, there
may be something wrong with the ENG A-
STOP system or the SHVS system. You
should have the system inspected by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer or a qualified
workshop.
ENG A-STOP system (engine
auto stop start system)
The ENG A-STOP system (engine auto
stop start system) automatically stops the
engine while waiting briefly at a traffic light,
etc., or decelerating to a stop, and auto-
matically restarts the engine afterward.
This system helps reduce emissions,
improve fuel consumption and lower
engine noise.
This system stops the engine temporarily
under specific conditions. Before parking
the vehicle for an extended period of time
or leaving the vehicle, properly apply the
parking brake and stop the engine with the
engine switch.
If certain conditions are met, the engine is
stopped automatically when decelerating
(approximately 15 km/h (9 mph) or less for
manual transmission vehicle, approxi-
mately 10 km/h (6 mph) or less for CVT
vehicle) before stopping. However, the
engine will not be stopped automatically
during deceleration until confirmation of
the system function is finished.
