10 seconds, and then disengage. Once this occurs, release

The idle speed is controlled automatically, and it will
decrease as the engine warms up.
STOP/START SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Stop/Start function was developed to reduce fuel
consumption. The system will stop the engine automati-
cally during a vehicle stop if the required conditions are
met. Releasing the brake pedal or pressing the accelerator
pedal will automatically restart the engine.
Automatic Mode
The Stop/Start feature is enabled after every
normal customer engine start. At that time, the
system will go into STOP/START READY and
if all other conditions are met, can go into a
STOP/START AUTOSTOP ACTIVE “Autostop” mode.
To Activate The Autostop Mode, The Following Must
Occur:
• The system must be in STOP/START READY state. A
STOP/START READY message will be displayed in
the Driver Information Display (DID) within the Stop/
Start section. Refer to “Driver Information Display
(DID)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for
further information.
• The vehicle must be completely stopped.
