automatically stop and restart the engine
when the vehicle is stationary for a short
period of time (while waiting for a traffic

CAUTION
The Auto Start Stop system is designed
to automatically stop and
restart the engine for a short period
of time during idling. Do not use the
system when parking the vehicle
