The fuel-saving engine stop/start system automati-

cally stops and restarts the engine to help con-

serve fuel. The system may turn off the engine, 

referred to as an Auto Stop, when the brake 

pedal is pressed and the vehicle is at a complete 

stop, if operating conditions are met. In Auto 

Stop mode, the tachometer gauge will read 

AUTO STOP. The audio system, climate controls 

and other accessories will continue to operate. 

When the brake pedal is released or the accel-

erator pedal is pressed, 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 time is greater than 2 minutes.
