Starting System - INGENIUM I4 2.0L Petrol/INGENIUM I4 2.0L Petrol - PHEV (G2163180): Overview

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The Ingenium I4 Petrol Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) starting system consists of:

A starter motor that engages with the ring gear on the crankshaft drive plate.
A Belt Integrated Starter Generator (BISG) which engages the accessory drive belt to start the engine.

Operation of the starter motor and the BISG is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The BISG is used to perform all engine cranks when the ambient temperature is above -5°C. The starter motor is used for engine cranks when the ambient temperature is -5°C or below.

The starting system incorporates an auto stop/start system. The PCM interacts with other vehicle systems to determine when auto stop/start intervention is required. The auto stop/start system automatically stops and re-starts the engine when appropriate conditions are met. This reduces the amount of time the engine is running at idle speed which improves economy and reduces engine emissions.

The auto stop/start system warning indicator provides a visual indication of when the engine is stopped in an auto stop/start cycle. The auto stop/start system function is automatically activated each time an ignition cycle occurs. However, if required the driver can deactivate the system using the appropriate menu on the Interactive Control Display Module (ICDM).

Power Supply Distribution Box (PSDB) is used on PHEV to switch specified consumers to the auxiliary battery during cranking and for functional safety.
