Upon releasing the brake pedal or applying the accelerator pedal, the engine will restart. After parking the vehicle and turning off the engine, the tachometer gauge will read OFF.
The engine may remain running or restart when the vehicle is stopped if:
•A minimum vehicle speed is not reached.
•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 charge is low.
•The climate control system requires the engine to run based on the current settings.
