Automatic Engine Shutdown
For vehicles with a keyless ignition, this
feature shuts down the engine if it has
been idling for an extended period. The
ignition also turns off in order to save
battery power. Before your vehicle shuts
down, a message appears in the
information display showing a timer
counting down from 30 seconds. If you do
not intervene within 30 seconds, your
vehicle shuts down. Another message
appears in the information display to
inform you that your vehicle has shut down
to save fuel. Start your vehicle as you
normally do.
Automatic Engine Shutdown Override
You can stop the shutdown, or reset the
timer, at any point before the 30-second
countdown has expired by doing any of the
following:
• You can reset the timer by interacting
with your vehicle, for example pressing
the brake or accelerator pedal.
• You can temporarily switch off the
shutdown feature any time the ignition
is on. Use the vehicle settings on your
touchscreen to switch the 30min Max
Idle on or off. The feature only remains
off for the current ignition cycle.
• During the 30-second countdown, the
system prompts you to press OK or
RESET to temporarily switch the
feature off for the current ignition cycle
only.
Note: You cannot permanently switch off
the automatic shutdown feature. When you
temporarily switch it off, it turns on at the
next ignition cycle.

steering assistance could also occur. The
steering does not lock, but higher effort
could be required to steer your vehicle.
