brake pedal is released or the throttle pedal is depressed.

matically While In Autostop Mode:
• The transmission gear selector is moved out of DRIVE
except in the PARK and NEUTRAL position.
• To maintain cabin temperature comfort.
• HVAC is set to full defrost mode.
• HVAC system temperature or fan speed is manually
adjusted.
• Battery voltage drops too low.
• Low brake vacuum (e.g. after several brake pedal appli-
cations).
• STOP/START OFF switch is pushed.
• A STOP/START system error occurs.
