STOP/START SYSTEM —
DIESEL MODELS WITH
MANUAL TRANSMISSION
ONLY
The Stop/Start function is developed to save
fuel and reduce emissions. The system will stop
the engine automatically during a vehicle stop if
the required conditions are met. Pressing the
clutch pedal will automatically re-start the ve-
hicle.
Automatic Mode
The Stop/Start feature is enabled after every
normal customer engine start. It will remain in
STOP/START NOT READY until you drive for-
ward with a vehicle speed greater than 3 mph
(5 km/h). At that time, the system will go into
STOP/START READY and if all other conditions
are met, can go into an STOP/START AUTO
STOP ACTIVE mode.
To Activate The STOP/START AUTO STOP
ACTIVE Mode, The Following Must Occur:
1. The system must be in STOP/START
READY state. A STOP/START READY mes-
sage will be displayed in the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC). Refer to “Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further in-
formation.
2. Vehicle speed must be less 3 mph (5 km/h).
3. Shifter must be in the NEUTRAL position
and the clutch pedal must be fully released
The engine will shut down, the tachometer will
fall to the Stop/Start position, the STOP/
START AUTO STOP ACTIVE message will ap-
pear, and the heater/air conditioning (HVAC) air
flow will be reduced.
Possible Reasons The Engine Does Not
AUTO STOP
Prior to engine shut down, the system will check
many safety and comfort conditions to see if
they are fulfilled. In following situations the
engine will not stop:
•
Driver’s seat belt is not buckled
•
Outside temperature is less than 1°F (–17°C)
or greater than 104°F (40°C)
•
Actual cabin temperature is significantly dif-
ferent than temperature set on Auto HVAC
•
HVAC is set to full defrost mode
•
Engine has not reached normal operating
temperature
•
Battery discharged
•
When driving in REVERSE
•
Hood is open
•
Vehicle is in 4LO transfer case mode
It may be possible for the vehicle to be driven
several times without the STOP/START system
going into a STOP/START READY state under
more extreme conditions of the items listed
above.
To Start The Engine While In The
STOP/START AUTO STOP ACTIVE Mode
When the shift lever is in NEUTRAL, the engine
will start when the clutch pedal is pressed. The
vehicle will go into STOP/START SYSTEM NOT
READY mode until the vehicle speed is greater
than 3 mph (5 km/h).
