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.
In following situations the engine will not stop:
•
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
•
Battery is discharged
•
When driving in REVERSE
•
Hood is open
•
Transfer case is in 4L or N (Neutral)
•
Driver's seat is not occupied or driver door is open
•
Vehicle is at high altitude
•
The vehicle is on a steep grade
•
Forward Gear is engaged
•
Steering angle is beyond threshold
•
System fault is present
•
HVAC is set to MAX A/C
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 items listed previously.
TO START THE ENGINE WHILE IN
AUTOSTOP MODE
When the gear selector is in NEUTRAL, the engine will
start when the clutch pedal is pressed (does not
require complete/full pedal press). The vehicle will go
into STOP/START SYSTEM NOT READY mode until the
vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Conditions that will cause the engine to start automati-
cally while in STOP/START AUTOSTOP ACTIVE mode,
the engine will start automatically when:
•
Actual cabin temperature is significantly different
than temperature set on Auto HVAC
•
HVAC is set to full defrost mode
•
Stop/Start Autostop Active time exceeds five
minutes
•
Battery voltage drops too low
•
Vehicle is moving faster than 5 mph (8 km/h)
•
Stop/Start OFF switch is pressed
•
Transfer case is in 4L or N (Neutral)
•
Steering wheel is turned beyond threshold (ESS
Models Only)
