CAUTION
When connecting an external start battery or
a battery charger, the Start/Stop function may
be temporarily disabled if the negative termi-
nal on the vehicle's start battery is used to
connect an external start battery or a battery
charger. Only the negative connection point
in the engine compartment may be used as a
ground point.
NOTE
If the start battery is completely discharged
and the vehicle has no normal electrical func-
tions, and the engine is then started using an
auxiliary battery or battery charger, the
Start/Stop function will be activated. The
engine can then be auto-stopped but may not
auto-start again due to an insufficient charge
level in the start battery.
To help ensure auto-start, the start battery
should be charged first. At a temperature of
approx. 60 °F (15 °C), the battery should be
charged for at least 1 hour, preferably using
an external battery charger. At lower tempera-
tures, the battery should be charged for
3–4 hours.
If a charger is not available, it is advisable to
disable the Start/Stop function until the bat-
tery is sufficiently recharged.
