What does the green light of istop mean?

istop green light indicates that the auto start-stop is in the active state, meaning the auto start-stop system can function normally at this time. Below is more information about the auto start-stop system: 1. The use of the auto start-stop system is subject to certain conditions, such as insufficient battery power, too high or too low temperature, wheels in a turning state when stopping, too steep a slope, seatbelt not fastened, etc. 2. The auto start-stop system (Start/Stop) automatically turns off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and automatically restarts the engine when it's time to move forward again.
I've been driving a car with i-stop for several years, and that little green light indicates the system is working properly. When the car comes to a complete stop, like at a red light, the engine automatically shuts off, and the green light being on means all conditions are met for a smooth restart, such as sufficient battery charge and appropriate temperature. If the light turns red or flashes, there might be an issue like a sensor or battery fault that needs checking. In daily city driving, when the green light is on, it's quite fuel-efficient, saving me around ten bucks a month on average. In winter, if it's too cold, the system might not activate and the light may change, but generally, as long as the green light stays steady, there's nothing to worry about—just drive with confidence.
