Start-Stop
System
Operation
The
Start-Stop
System
shuts
off
the engine
when
you
stop
at
traffic
signals or
during
certain stop-
and-go
driving
conditions to save
fuel.
When
the
system
shuts
off
the engine, the Start-Stop
System
light
appears
in
the
Driver
Information
System
in
the
instrument
cluster.
Releasing the brake
pedal
instantly restarts
the engine
and
makes
power
available
before
your
foot
even reaches the
accelerator.
When
this
feature
is
activated,
the
ignition
and
other
systems remain on
for
your
convenience. To
ensure proper
vehicle
shutdown,
it
is
critical
that
you
turn
your
ignition off
by
pressing the "Start
Engine
Stop" button
to
completely
turn
your
vehicle
off.
Please
refer to
your Owner's
Manual
for
operating
conditions.

Important
Safety Instructions
and Warnings:
Start-Stop
System
Never
allow the engine to
run
in
confined spaces,
because
this
increases
the
risk
of asphyxiation.
Never
turn
off
the engine before the
vehicle
has
come
to
a
complete
stop.
The
brake booster
and power
steering
no longer
function
when
you
stop the engine.
You
must
use
more
force
when
braking or
steering.
Because
you cannot
brake
and
steer as
you
usually
would,
this
could lead
to
accidents
and
serious
injuries.
These
functions are
still
active
if
the Start-Stop
System
has stopped the
engine.
