Operation of i-stop Function
The i-stop (idling stop) function automatically stops the engine when the vehicle is
stopped at a traffic light or stuck in traffic after the engine has been warmed up
(SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5) or other times when the engine is not cold
(SKYACTIV-D 2.2), and then restarts the engine automatically to resume driving.
The system provides improved fuel economy, reduced exhaust gas emissions, and
eliminates idling noise while the engine is stopped.
