192 DRIVING AND OPERATING
2. If the engine does not start after
five to 10 seconds, especially in
very cold weather (below 18 °C
or 0 °F), it could be flooded with
too much gasoline. Try pushing
the accelerator pedal all the way
to the floor and holding it there
as you press ENGINE START/
STOP. Wait at least 15 seconds
between each try, to allow the
cranking motor to cool down.
When the engine starts, release
the accelerator. If the vehicle
starts briefly but then stops
again, do the same thing. This
clears the extra gasoline from the
engine. Do not race the engine
immediately after starting it.
Operate the engine and
transmission gently until the oil
warms up and lubricates all
moving parts.
Stop/Start System
Warning
Exiting the vehicle without first
shifting into P (Park) may cause the
vehicle to move. You or others may
be injured. Because the vehicle may
have an auto engine Stop/Start
feature, the vehicle's engine might
seem to be shut off; however, once
the brake pedal is released, the
engine will start up again. The
engine may restart even while the
brake is applied.
Shift to P (Park) and turn the
ignition off before exiting the
vehicle.
If equipped with the 2.0L L4, or 3.6L
V6 non-turbo engine, the vehicle has a
fuel saving stop/start system to shut
off the engine to help conserve fuel.
Auto Stop/Start
When the brakes are applied and the
vehicle is at a complete stop, the
engine may turn off. When stopped,
the tachometer may display Auto
Stop, or the Auto Stop light may come
on in the instrument cluster. See
Tachometer 0 120 and Auto Stop Mode
(Uplevel Cluster Only) 0 132. When the
brake pedal is released or the
accelerator pedal is pressed, the
engine may restart.
Auto Stop may be deactivated if:
A minimum vehicle speed is not
reached.
The engine or transmission is not
at the required operating
temperature.
The outside temperature is not in
the required operating range,
typically below 10 °C (14 °F) or
above 50 °C (122 °F).
The shift lever is in any gear other
than D (Drive).
The battery has been recently
disconnected.
The battery charge is low.
