Auto Stop - Chevrolet 2010 Silverado Owner's Manual

Fuel Economy Gage
United States
This gage indicates fuel efficiency. To obtain the best
fuel efficiency, operate the vehicle so that the indicator
is in the high efficiency band.
Modifying both braking and acceleration behavior to
keep the indicator in the center of the gage will result
in the best system efficiency and fuel economy.
See Fuel Economy Gage on page 4 5.
Automatic Engine Start/Stop Feature
Start the engine as you would any other engine. See
Starting the Engine in the owner manual for more
information on starting. The hybrid system provides
very quiet engine starting. If pulling a trailer with trailer
brakes, see Towing a Trailer on page 5 2 for more
information.

Auto Stop

The vehicle has an Auto Stop feature. After a
successful engine start, the engine may turn off
and operate in the Auto Stop mode.
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal until you are
Canada
ready for the vehicle to move.
Engine OFF and AUTO STOP modes are indicated on
the tachometer display. When the tachometer needle
indicates OFF, the engine is not running and will remain
off until the ignition key is placed in the START position
or a remote vehicle start is performed. When the
tachometer needle indicates AUTO STOP, the hybrid
system is on, the engine is not running, but may Auto
Start at any time without notice. See Tachometer on
page 4 4 for more information.
A chime will sound if the driver door is opened while in
Auto Stop as a reminder that the ignition switch is not in
the LOCK/OFF position. Always turn the ignition switch
to LOCK/OFF and remove the key from the ignition
switch when exiting the vehicle.
