Regarding your thread on IC, I think a visual diagram would be helpful for installation, even if it's just a terrible M$ Paint drawing.


Request approved.


So if my car enters Auto Stop normally, the second I release the brake or clutch, the engine restarts even in Neutral. That's why I specify a maintaining switch. However, I have noticed that when I use my EFAS switch to get Auto Stop the car doesn't restart itself. I guess I would say to be on the safe side use a maintaining switch, but maybe experimenting with a momentary switch will show that it's okay.
