While in DRIVE, the engine will start when the brake pedal
is released or the throttle pedal is depressed and the
transmission will automatically reengage upon engine
restart.
Conditions That Will Cause The Engine To Start
Automatically While In Autostop Mode
The engine will start automatically when:
 The transmission selector is moved from DRIVE to
REVERSE, NEUTRAL, or PARK
 To maintain cabin temperature near the HVAC settings
 HVAC is set to full defrost mode
 12 Volt demand requires engine restart
 Low brake vacuum (e.g. after several brake pedal appli-
cations)
 STOP/START OFF switch is pushed
 4WD system is put into 4L mode
 The emissions system override is present
 A STOP/START system error present
Conditions That Force An Automatic Shift To Park While In
Autostop Mode
The engine will not start automatically and the
transmission will be placed in PARK if:
 The driver door is open and brake pedal released.
 The driver door is open and the driver seat belt is
unbuckled.
I
 The engine hood has been opened.
N
 A STOP/START system error present.
The engine may then be restarted by moving the
transmission shift selector out of PARK (e.g. to DRIVE) or,
in some cases, only by a KEY START. The instrument
cluster will display a SHIFT OUT OF PARK message, or a
STOP/START KEY START REQUIRED message, to indicate
which action is required.
Refer to "Instrument Cluster Display" in "Getting To Know
Your Instrument Panel" for further information.
