When your vehicle is stationary for more than 15 seconds, turn off the engine to avoid unnecessary fuel waste. Modern engines are engineered for efficiency, handling frequent restarts effortlessly—unlike older models.
To take a call, check a map, switch passengers, navigate traffic jams, or wait at a level crossing, prioritize eco-driving by shutting off the ignition.
Beyond 15 seconds idle, restarting uses less fuel than continued running. Proven eco-driving practices like this can cut your gas bill by up to 20%, delivering real savings with no loss in comfort.
