AUTO ENGINE STOP/START OPERATION
(IF EQUIPPED)
A fuel-saving automatic engine stop/start system is included on
vehicles equipped with the 2.0L L4 turbocharged engine and an
automatic transmission and all 3.6L V6 engines.
While driving, when the brake pedal is applied and the vehicle is
at a complete stop, the auto engine stop/start system may turn off
the engine, depending on operating conditions. When the engine
is off, the tachometer gauge will read AUTO STOP. Upon releasing
the brake pedal or applying the accelerator pedal, 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 D (Drive).
• 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.

running to disable the auto engine stop/start system.
When the system is disabled, the button indicator will not be illu-
minated and the
$

from green to white with a slash through it.
