• Engine has not reached normal operating

• The transmission is not in a forward or
reverse gear.
• Hood is open.
• Vehicle is in 4LO transfer case mode (if
equipped with 4WD).
• Brake pedal is not pressed with sufficient
pressure with vehicle in DRIVE position.
Other Factors Which Can Inhibit Autostop In-
clude:
• Accelerator pedal input.
• Engine temp too high.
• 5 mph threshold not achieved from previ-
ous AUTOSTOP.
• Steering angle beyond threshold.
• ACC is on and speed is set.
It may be possible for the vehicle to be driven
several times without the STOP/START sys-
tem going into a STOP/START READY state
under more extreme conditions of the items
listed above.
To Start The Engine While In Autostop
Mode
While in a forward gear, the engine will start
when the brake pedal is released or the
throttle pedal is depressed. The transmission
will automatically re-engage upon engine re-
start.
Conditions That Will Cause The Engine To Start
Automatically While In Autostop Mode:
• The transmission gear selector is moved out
of DRIVE except in the PARK 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 applications).
• STOP/START OFF switch is pushed.
• A STOP/START system error occurs.
• 4WD system is put into 4LO mode (if
equipped with 4WD).
Conditions That Force An Application Of The
Electric Park Brake While In Autostop Mode:
• The driver’s door is open and brake pedal
released.
• The driver’s door is open and the driver’s
seat belt is unbuckled.
• The engine hood has been opened.
• A STOP/START system error occurs.
If the Electric Park Brake is applied with the
engine off, the engine may require a manual
restart and the electric park brake may re-
quire a manual release (depress brake pedal
and push Electric Park Brake switch). Refer
to “Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting
To Know Your Instrument Panel” in your Own-
er’s Manual.
To Manually Turn Off The Stop/Start
System
