Caution
Cranking the engine for long
periods of time, by pressing
ENGINE START/STOP immediately
after cranking has ended, can
overheat and damage the cranking
motor, and drain the battery. Wait
at least 15 seconds between each
try, to let the cranking motor
cool down.
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 petrol. Try pushing the
accelerator pedal all the way to
the floor and hold it there, then
press ENGINE START/STOP for
up to a maximum of 15 seconds.
Wait at least 15 seconds between
each try, to allow the cranking
motor to cool down. When the
engine starts, let go of the
button and the accelerator. If the
vehicle starts briefly but then
stops again, do the same thing.
This clears the extra petrol 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 has
the 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.
Shift to P (Park) and turn the
ignition to LOCK/OFF, before exiting
the vehicle.
DRIVING AND OPERATING
The vehicle has a fuel saving stop/
start system to shut off the engine to
help conserve fuel.
Auto Engine Stop/Start
When the brakes are applied and the
vehicle is at a complete stop, the
engine may turn off. When stopped,
the tachometer displays AUTO STOP.
See Rev Counter 0 116. When the
brake pedal is released or the
accelerator pedal is pushed, the
engine will 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 transmission is in any gear
other than D (Drive).
The battery is low.
The battery has been
disconnected.
