A fuel-saving stop/start system has been 

 integrated with the 1.4L LE2 turbocharged 

engine. While driving, when the brakes are 

applied and the vehicle is at a complete stop, the 

engine may turn off, depending on conditions. 

When the engine stops, 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 apply-

ing the accelerator pedal, the engine will restart. 

After turning off the engine, the tachometer gauge will read OFF. 
The engine may remain running or restart if:
•  A minimum vehicle speed is not reached.
•  The shift lever is in any gear other than Drive (D).
•  The battery state of charge is low.
•  The outside temperature is not in the required operating range.
•  The engine or transmission is not at the required operating temperature.
•  The climate control system requires the engine to run based on the climate control or 

defog setting. Select the ECO air conditioning setting (green A/C indicator) to maximize 

the frequency and duration of Auto Stops. 

•  The Auto Stop time is greater than 2 minutes.
