The fuel-saving Automatic Stop/Start system automatically turns off the engine,
referred to as an Auto Stop, when the brake pedal is pressed and the vehicle is at
a complete stop, if certain operating conditions are met. In Auto Stop mode, the
tachometer will read AUTO STOP. When the brake pedal is released or the accelerator
pedal is pressed, the engine will restart. After parking the vehicle and turning off the
engine, the tachometer will read OFF.
The engine may remain running or restart when the vehicle is stopped, depending on
current operating conditions.
Press the
$
Auto Stop button on the left side of the instrument panel to turn the
system off or on again. The button indicator turns off when the system is disabled.
The Automatic Stop/Start system is enabled each time the vehicle is started.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
Buckle to Drive prevents the vehicle from shifting out of Park if the engine is running,
the brake pedal is pressed, and the driver’s seat belt is not buckled. Buckle the seat belt
to shift out of Park. If the seat belt remains unbuckled, the vehicle can be shifted out of
Park after several seconds. Shifting from Park is prevented once each ignition cycle.
To turn off or on again, go to Settings > Vehicle > Buckle to Drive on the infotain-
ment screen. The vehicle may need to be restarted to register the setting change.
