CAUTION:
(Continued)
However, if you then start to exit the
vehicle, as soon as you take your foot off
the brake pedal, the engine will start again
and the vehicle can move forward. If you
are going to exit your vehicle, first shift to
PARK (P) and turn the ignition to LOCK.
Then exit.
Your vehicle has an automatic engine start/stop
feature. This feature can cause the engine to turn
off when you are applying the brake and going
less than 10 mph (16 km/h), or when you come to
a complete stop. When you take your foot off
the brake pedal, the engine will start again and you
will continue forward. However, if you are on an
incline, your vehicle may roll backwards a
short distance until the engine performs the auto
start. To be sure your vehicle will not move or roll,
always keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal
until you are ready for the vehicle to move.
Start the engine just as you would any normal
engine. Also see “Starting Your Engine” in
the Index of the owner manual for more
information on starting. After the engine is started
and has reached operating temperature, it will
shut off automatically when bringing the vehicle to
a stop — usually the engine will shut off before
a complete stop if you are braking at speeds below
about 13 mph (21 km/h). If you are pulling a
trailer and your trailer is equipped with trailer
brakes, see
Towing a Trailer on page 32
for more
information.
To restart the engine during the auto stop, release
the brake pedal and the engine will start
immediately. The vehicle will operate as a normal
vehicle, until the next stop.
