Idling se koristi za svaki stroj - vozilo, mehanizam itd. koji ima motor.

Kod nas se to kaže LER prema njemačkom LEER (ti ćeš to bolje znati :)
Upravo to pisac želi reći, da nije dobro ostavljati stroj u leru duže od 60 sekundi.

each time you (the car) stops for more than 60 seconds
this is one way u could make it idiomatic

obviously it should be ...
each time you stop for more than 60 seconds
ILI
each time the car stops for more than 60 seconds

@ Sazo - if the text does not make clear from the context whether it is a car or vehicle, then you might be best with using 'you' or choosing either one or the other.
Idle is correct in the sense described alluded to Marija but it is more everyday language and not 'bureaucratic'. It can be used about people too and unless you are very specific about creating a connection to a vehicle or car, then it will not read clearly IMO.
