AUTO STOP/START

CAUTION
Always disable the auto stop/start system before wading. Failure to do so could cause damage to the vehicle. The auto stop/start system is designed to improve fuel efficiency and automatically activates when the vehicle’s ignition is switched on. Unless it is required to support other vehicle systems, the engine switches off when the vehicle is stationary, e.g., at traffic lights. When the engine stops, it is referred to as an auto stop.
When the brake pedal is released, or a drive gear is selected, the engine automatically restarts. When the engine restarts, it is referred to as an auto start. Operation of the auto stop/start system is indicated by a status icon in the instrument panel. See AUTO STOP/START (GREEN).
NOTES
When activated, the auto stop/start system does not always stop the engine when the vehicle is stationary. The system may also restart the engine before setting off.

TRIGGERING AN AUTO STOP

To trigger an auto stop, drive forward with Drive (D) or Sport (S) selected and stop the vehicle. Fully press the brake pedal to make sure the vehicle is stationary.

The following conditions inhibit an auto stop:

  • The external temperature is less than approximately 28°F (-2°C).
  • The external temperature is more than approximately 104°F (40°C).
  • The engine or other vehicle systems have not reached the optimum operating temperatures.
  • The driver’s seat belt is unbuckled.
  • Demand from the climate control system requires the engine to be running, e.g., when in defrost mode.
  • The vehicle’s battery charge is low.
  • The auto stop/start system is deactivated.
  • After reversing, the vehicle’s speed has not exceeded 10 mph (16 km/h).
  • A gearshift paddle has been used to select a gear.

The instrument panel displays an information lamp when the vehicle is stationary and the auto stop/start system is active, but operation is inhibited. See AUTO STOP/START INHIBIT (WHITE).

TRIGGERING AN AUTO START

To trigger an auto start, release the brake pedal with Drive (D) or Sport (S) selected.

The engine also restarts if one of the following occurs:

  • The auto stop/start system is deactivated.
  • Reverse (R) gear is selected.
  • Demand from the climate control system increases.
  • The vehicle begins to move.
  • The vehicle’s battery charge becomes low.
  • The accelerator pedal is pressed.
  • A gearshift paddle is used to select a gear.

DEACTIVATING AUTO STOP/START

When the auto stop/start system is deactivated, the instrument panel momentarily displays the message Auto Stop/Start off. A status icon is also displayed. See AUTO STOP/START OFF (WHITE). The instrument panel displays the message Auto Stop/Start not available if the button is pressed while the system is unable to operate..
NOTES
The auto stop/start system automatically reactivates the next time the vehicle’s ignition is switched on.

DRIVER EXIT

During an auto stop, the driver exit feature prevents the vehicle from being inadvertently left in a driveable condition. If the feature detects that the driver is not present. it automatically switches off the vehicle’s ignition system. Once the vehicle’s ignition is switched off, the vehicle can be locked, if required. See LOCKING.

NOTES
The driver exit feature is only active when an auto stop has taken place and the engine is not running.
WARNING
If the vehicle is left in a driveable condition with the engine running, the driver exit feature does not prevent the vehicle from moving. Failure to make sure the vehicle is left in a safe condition could lead to serious injury or death.

If Drive (D), Sport (S), or Neutral (N) is selected, the driver exit feature switches the vehicle’s ignition off when the following conditions exist:

  • The driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, and:
  • The brake pedal is released.

If Park (P) is selected, the driver exit feature switches the vehicle’s ignition off when the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled.
