STARTING AND OPERATING
AUTOSTOP MODE
WARNING!
•
Vehicles with the Stop/Start system will be equipped
with two batteries. Both the main and the supple-
mental batteries must be disconnected to completely
de-energize the 12 Volt electrical system.
•
Serious injury or death could result if you do not
disconnect both batteries. To learn how to properly
disconnect, see an authorized dealer.
The Stop/Start feature is enabled after every driver igni-
tion start. It will remain in STOP/START NOT READY until
you drive forward with a vehicle speed greater than
5 mph (8 km/h). At that time, the system will go into
STOP/START READY and if all other conditions are met,
can go into an STOP/START AUTO STOP ACTIVE mode.
To Activate The STOP/START AUTOSTOP ACTIVE Mode,
The Following Must Occur:
•
The system must be in STOP/START READY state. A
STOP/START READY message will be displayed in
the instrument cluster
page 124.
•
Vehicle speed must be less than 2 mph (3 km/h).
•
The gear selector must be in the NEUTRAL position
and the clutch pedal must be fully released.
POSSIBLE REASONS THE ENGINE
DOES NOT AUTOSTOP
Prior to engine shut down, the system will check many
safety and comfort conditions to see if they are fulfilled.
Situations when the engine will not stop include (but not
limited to):
•
Driver's seat belt is not buckled.
•
Outside temperature is less than 10°F (–12°C) or
greater than 109°F (43°C).
•
Actual cabin temperature is significantly different
than temperature set on Auto HVAC.
•
HVAC is set to full defrost mode.
•
Engine has not reached normal operating
temperature.
•

It may be possible for the vehicle to be driven several
times without the Stop/Start system going into a STOP/
START READY state under more extreme conditions of
the previously listed items.
