Operating conditions of ENG A-STOP systemStandby conditions
If all of the following conditions are met while driving, the automatic engine stop will be permitted.
• For CVT, the ENG A-STOP indicator light (green) will come on.
#1: If the battery is discharged, for example, if the vehicle has not been used for a long time or electrical components, such as the navi-
gation system or audio system, have not been used for a long ti me while the engine was stopped, it may take some time until th e
system can be in standby.
#2: If any of the warning and indi cator lights affecting the ENG A-STOP system come on, the e ngine will not be stopped automati cally.
#3: The system will be in standby even though the gearshift leve r is in the “N” position, however, the engine will be stopped automati-
cally when the vehicl e is stopped, instead of when it is decelerating (approximately 13 km/ h or less) before stopping.
#4: After the ENG A-STOP indicator light (green) comes on, there may be a signal to prevent stopping the engine. In this case, the ENG
A-STOP indicator light (green) goes off when the vehicle is sto pped, and the engine is not stopped automatically. Also, if any of the
warning and indi cator lights affecting the ENG A-STOP system co me on, the engine will not be stopped automatically.
When the engine is started • The
engine is started with the engine hood securely closed.

® system has not been activated.
• Brake booster vacuum pressure is normal.

• Brake booster vacuum pressure is normal.
Manual
transaxle • The gearshift lever is in “N” position.
• The clutch pedal is released.
CVT • The steering wheel is not being operated.
• The brake was not app
lied abruptly before the vehicle was stop ped.

Conditions to restart the engine automatically
If any of the following vehicle conditions occur or operations are performed while the engine is stopped automatically, the en gine is
restarted automatically and the ENG A-STOP i ndicator light (green) goes off.
Common • The ENG A-STOP system is deactivated (OFF).
• The battery continues to be discharged. (#1)
• A malfunction was detect
ed in this system. (#2)
• Brake booster vacuum pressure is low. (#1)
• The temperature of the air from the outlets changes greatly, o r the cooling and heat-
ing performance is insufficient. (#1)
• The temperature selector was greatly set toward COOL while coo ling or greatly set
toward HOT while heating. (#1)
• The defroster is turned on. (#1)
Manual transaxle • The cl utch pedal is depressed.
CVT • The foot is removed from the brake pedal. (#3)
• The steering wheel is operated. (#4)
• The accelerator pedal is depressed.
• The gearshift lever is placed
in the “P”, “R” or “M” position.
When decelerating
(approximately 15 km/h (9 mph)
or less for manual transaxle
vehicles,
approximately 13 km/h (8 mph)
or less for CVT vehicles) Common • The engine hood was opened.
Manual
transaxle
• The vehicle speed exceeds 15km/
h (9 mph) when going down a slope. (#1)
CVT • The gearshift lever is placed in the “N” position.
• The slope of the road
suddenly changes. (#1)
When the vehicle is stopped Common• The driver’s seat
belt is unfastened. (#1)
• The driver’s door is opened. (#1)
• The vehicle is movi ng along a slope. (#1)

#1: After the ENG A-STOP indicator light (green) blinks, it goes off. Also, the interior buzzer may sound at the same time.
#2: Depending on the sit uations of malfunction, it is a normal restart or the restart as #1.
#3: The engine may be restarted automatically when the brake ped al is depressed lightly. In this case, when the brake pedal is
depressed again, the engine is sto pped automatically and the ENG A-STOP indicator light (green) comes on again.
#4: The steering force, not the steering amount, is a condition to restart the engine automatically when the steering wheel is operated.
Therefore, the amoun t that the steering whee l is operated when the engine is automatically res tarted may change depending on t he
road conditions or t he number of passengers.

NOTE:
If the ENG A-STOP OFF switch (1) is
pushed while the engine has been stopped
automatically, the engine is restarted auto-
matically and the ENG A-STOP OFF indi-
cator light (2) comes on.
• The ENG A-STOP OFF indicator light (orange) in the instrument cluster comes
on or blinks in the following cases, not
only to warn you that the ENG A-STOP
system is deactivated. If it blinks, have
the vehicle serviced by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer.
– If the system is operating normally
when the ignition switch is turned to
the “ON” position or the engine switch
is pressed to change the ignition mode
to ON, the indicator light comes on for
approximately 2 seconds, then goes
off.
– If there is something wrong with the system, or if it is time to replace the
battery, the indicator light will blink
when the ignition switch is turned to
the “ON” position or the engine switch
is pressed to change the ignition mode
to ON. (The ENG A-STOP system will
not work properly.)

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki)The SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by
Suzuki) of this vehicle is a system that
uses generators with motor function (ISG)
to operate the following functions accord-
ing to the driving situations, to increase
quietness of the engine and fuel efficiency.
ISG stands for Integrated Starter Genera-
tor.
•Deceleration energy regenerating func-
tion
:
This function generates intensively
during deceleration by using the ISG.
When generation while driving is not
required, the ISG can be stopped to
reduce the load on the engine, leading to
improved fuel economy.
• Motor assistance function: This function assists the engine by using
the ISG as a motor to reduce the power
output of the engine, leading to improved
fuel economy.
• Starter motor function: This function restarts the engine after
being stopped by the ENG A-STOP sys-
tem by using the ISG through the drive
belt.
NOTE:
When you restart the engine by pushing
the engine switch, the ordinary starter
motor is used and you will hear a gear
engagement noise. Energy flow indicator
With the energy flow indicator in the instru-
ment cluster, you can check whether or not
the ISG is functioning.
• Normal driving conditions:
The ISG is not functioning.
81P40260
• The deceleration energy regeneratingfunction is functioning while the vehicle is
decelerated in normal driving conditions:
The batteries are being charged.
81P40270
• Engine has been aut omatically stopped
when the vehicle is stopped:
Stored power is being used by electrical
components, such a s the audio system,
without the batteries being charged.
81P40280
• The starter motor function is functioning when the engine has been automatically
stopped:
Stored power is being used by the ISG,
without the batteries being charged.
