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. 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 An demand hold 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).
The operation of the auto stop/start system is indicated by a status icon in the instrument panel. See AUTO STOP/START (GREEN).
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.
Under certain conditions, the auto stop/start system also switches off the engine while the vehicle is moving. See AUTO STOP ON THE MOVE.
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 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).
To trigger an auto start when the On demand hold function is not active, release the brake pedal with Drive (D) or Sport (S) selected.
The engine also restarts if one of the following occurs:
Touch the vehicle controls icon on the touchscreen driver side bar.
The auto stop/start system is automatically deactivated if low range or Hill Descent Control (HDC) is selected. The system is also deactivated if certain terrain response special programs are selected by the driver, or selected by the AUTO driving program.
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 icon is touched while the system is unable to operate.
The auto stop/start system automatically reactivates the next time the vehicle’s ignition is switched on.
Vehicles with a 48v system are equipped with an auto stop on the move feature. The auto stop on the move feature switches off the engine while the vehicle is moving if:
When the brake pedal is released, the engine automatically restarts.
The operation of the auto stop on the move feature is indicated by a status icon in the instrument panel. See AUTO STOP/START (GREEN).
The auto stop on the move feature is deactivated if auto stop/start is deactivated. See DEACTIVATING AUTO STOP/START.
During an auto stop, the driver exit feature prevents the vehicle ignition from being inadvertently left on. 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 LOCK CONFIRMATION.
The driver exit feature is only active when an auto stop has taken place and the engine is not running.
If the vehicle is left in a driveable condition with the engine running, the driver exit feature does not prevent the ignition from being left on. Failure to make sure the vehicle is left in a safe condition could lead to serious injury or death.
If Park(P) is selected, the driver exit feature switches the vehicle’s ignition off when all the following conditions exist:
