AUTO-START-STOP
WARNING: Always fully apply the
parking brake. Make sure you shift into
park (P) for vehicles with an automatic
transmission. Switch the ignition off and
remove the key whenever you leave your
vehicle.
WARNING: Before opening the hood
or performing any maintenance, fully apply
the parking brake, shift into park (P) or
neutral (N) and switch the ignition off.
WARNING: Always switch the ignition
off before leaving the vehicle. If the ignition
is switched on an automatic restart may
occur at any time.
WARNING: The system may require
the engine to automatically restart when
the auto-start-stop indicator illuminates
green or flashes amber. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in personal
injury.
The system helps reduce fuel consumption
by automatically shutting off and restarting
the engine while stopped. Auto-Start-Stop
engine shutdown only occurs when you
place the transmission in drive (D) and press
the brake pedal. The engine will restart
automatically when you release the brake
pedal and place the transmission in drive (D).
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.
The Auto-Start-Stop system status is
available at a glance within the information
display. See Information Displays (page
114).
