shutting down the engine when the vehicle is at a standstill.

illuminate.
The engine will restart when the brake pedal is released or the shift lever is

When the engine restarts, the green AUTO STOP indicator on the instrument
cluster will turn off.
To deactivate the ISG System, press the ISG OFF button B. If you press again,
