AUTO-START-STOP
(If Equipped)
The system helps reduce fuel consumption
by automatically shutting off and restarting
the engine while stopped. The engine will
restart automatically when you release the
brake pedal.
In some situations, your vehicle may restart
automatically, for example:
•
To maintain interior comfort.
•
To recharge the battery.
Note:
Power assist steering turns off when
the engine is off.
WARNINGS
The engine may restart
automatically if required by the
system.
Switch the ignition off before
opening the hood or performing any
maintenance. Failure to do so may
result in serious injuries due to automatic
engine restart.
Always switch the ignition off before
leaving your vehicle, as the system
may have turned the engine off, but
the ignition will still be on and automatic
restart may occur.
The Auto StartStop system status is
available at a glance within the information
display. See
Information Displays
(page
108).
