STOP/START OPERATION
A fuel-saving stop/start system has been integrated with the 2.5L four-cylinder engine.
While driving, when the brake is applied and the vehicle is at a complete stop, the engine
may turn off, referred to as an Auto Stop, and the tachometer gauge will read AUTO
STOP. The audio system, climate controls and other accessories will continue to operate.
Upon releasing the brake pedal or applying the accelerator pedal, the engine will restart.
When the engine is turned off, the tachometer gauge will read OFF.
Note: Before Auto Stops are enabled, a minimum vehicle speed must be achieved.
The engine may remain running or restart when the vehicle is stopped if:
• The engine or transmission is not at the required operating temperature.
• The outside temperature is not in the required operating range.
• The shift lever is in any gear other than Drive (D).
• The battery state of charge is low.
• The climate control system requires the engine to run based on the climate control or

the frequency and duration of Auto Stops.
