Engine Stop/Start Operation (If Equipped)
A fuel-saving stop/start system has been integrated with the 1.4L four-cylinder engine
and automatic transmission. While driving, when the brake is applied and the vehicle
is at a complete stop, the automatic engine stop/start system may turn off the engine,
referred to as an Auto Stop. In Auto Stop mode, the tachometer gauge will read AUTO
STOP. The audio system, climate controls and other accessories will continue to operate.
Upon releasing the brake pedal or applying the accelerator pedal, the engine will restart.
After parking the vehicle and turning off the engine, the tachometer gauge will read OFF.
The engine may remain running or restart when the vehicle is stopped 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.
• The shift lever is in any gear other than Drive (D).
• The battery state of charge is low.
• The climate control system requires the engine to run based on the climate control or
defog setting. Select the eco air conditioning setting (green A/C indicator) to maximize
the frequency and duration of Auto Stops.
• The Auto Stop time is greater than 2 minutes.
