AUTO ENGINE STOP/START OPERATION
(NON-HYBRID MODEL)
A fuel-saving stop/start system has been integrated with the 1.5L four-cylinder engine.
While driving, when the brake is applied and the vehicle is at a complete stop, the automatic engine stop/start system may turn off the engine, referred to as an Auto Stop. In
Auto Stop mode, 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. 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.
• The Auto Stop has reached the maximum allowed time.
