Stop/Start System - Jeep COMPASS Owner's Handbook Manual

STOP/START SYSTEM

(where provided)
The Stop/Start system automatically
stops the engine each time the car is
stationary and starts it again when the
driver wants to move off.
In this way, the car efficiency is
increased, by reducing consumption,
emission of harmful gases and noise
pollution.

Operating Mode
Stopping the engine
Models with manual transmission: with
the car stationary, the engine turns off
with the transmission in neutral and the
clutch pedal released.
Models with dual clutch automatic
transmission: with the car stationary and
the brake pedal pressed, the engine
switches off bringing the gear lever to a
position other than R (Reverse).
NOTE On versions with dual clutch
automatic transmission, in the event of
stops uphill, the engine switching off
is disabled to activate the "Hill Start
Assist" function (works only with running
engine).
The warning light
panel switches on to signal that the
engine has stopped.

Models with manual transmission: press
the clutch pedal to restart the engine.
If the car does not start when the clutch
is pressed, place the gear lever in neutral
and repeat the procedure. If the problem
persists, contact a Jeep Dealership.
Models with automatic
transmission/double clutch automatic
transmission: The engine is restarted
automatically by releasing the brake
pedal (and the lever is not in N or P
position).
With brake pressed, if the gear lever
is in automatic mode - D (Drive) - the
engine can be restarted by moving the

mode"AutoStick".
With brake pressed, if the gear lever is
in "AutoStick" mode, the engine can be
restarted moving the lever to "+" or "–", or

When the engine has been stopped
automatically, keeping the brake pedal
pressed, the brake can be released
keeping the engine off by quickly shifting
the gear lever to P (Park). To restart
the engine, just move the lever out of
position P.
During the engine stop and start
sequence, the system passes through the
automatic engagement of neutral: the

brake pedal not fully pressed), switching
