2023 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Auto Stop/Start

AUTO STOP/START

The auto stop/start system is designed to improve fuel efficiency. The system 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 hold feature is not active and 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. See ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS).

Operation of the auto stop/start system is indicated by a status icon in the instrument panel. See AUTO STOP/START (GREEN).

Under certain conditions, the auto stop/start system also switches off the engine while the vehicle is moving. See AUTO STOP ON THE MOVE.

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 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.
