==History== Carbon monoxide emissions and the fuel shortage/oil crisis of the 1970s pushed car manufacturers to find solutions to reduce gas consumption. The first vehicle to use the automatic on/off switch was the six-cylinder [[Toyota Crown]] in 1974<ref name="books.google.ca">{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RkeRDMj1r2kC&pg=PA170|title=Automatic on/off switch gives 10-percent gas saving|date=October 1974|access-date=2019-02-15}}</ref><ref name=krx>{{cite journal | journal = Popular Science | date = 1974-01-08 | volume = 205 | number = 4 | publisher = Times Mirror Magazines, Inc. | location = New York, N.Y.
