What it means
This indicator shows that the automatic engine stop-start system is active or has stopped the engine while the vehicle is stationary. Green commonly indicates normal operation, but the colour and exact behaviour vary by manufacturer; check the owner’s manual.
What the symbol looks like: A capital “A” enclosed by a circular arrow, sometimes with a small “OFF” marking.
Why it comes on
- The vehicle has stopped and the system has switched off the engine to save fuel.
- The system is ready to stop the engine when conditions allow.
- The system has restarted the engine as the driver prepares to move.
What to do
- Continue driving and operating the vehicle normally.
- When stopped, keep control of the vehicle and watch for traffic as usual.
- Follow the owner’s manual for how the system behaves and how to switch it off if needed.
Can I keep driving?
You can continue driving normally when this indicator shows the system operating. Pay attention because the engine may restart automatically when you are ready to move.
Symbols and colours differ between makes and models. Your owner’s manual shows the exact lights of your car.
