That's the beauty of the mod: it retains the safety/functionality of the factory "autostop" feature. It will automatically restart the engine if the brake vacuum becomes gets low. Power steering is retained also.

And particularly the kill switch will gain you more MPG than anything else. When you finally install it, you'll kick yourself for not having done it sooner. It preserves the car's Autostop logic/functionality, so the electric power steering remains active and the engine automatically restarts (quietly, via the IMA motor) simply by: 1) putting the shifter into any gear; 2) depleting brake vacuum; 3) pressing the accelerator. It's all very slick.
