The Engine Will Remain Running When:

The engine, transaxle, or hybrid battery is
not warmed up yet.
The outside temperature is approximately
−4°F (−20°C).
When the A/C is in Normal Mode.
A/C is in Hybrid Mode and the climate control
system is working to cool the vehicle. See
Automatic Climate Control System on
page 154for more information.
Defrost is selected.
The shift lever is in PARK (P), NEUTRAL (N),
REVERSE (R), INTERMEDIATE (I) or
LOW (L).
The hybrid battery pack charge is low.
The 12V vehicle battery charge is low, or
loads are high.
The hood is not fully closed.
The Engine Will Restart When:

The brake pedal is released.
The accelerator pedal is applied.
When shifting out of DRIVE (D) to any
other gear.
If the A/C button is selected, the duration of
the AUTO STOP will depend on the outside
temperature. This economy mode improves
fuel economy by limiting the effects of the air
conditioning. The warmer it is outside, the
shorter the time before the engine is restarted
to provide cabin cooling.
The climate control system is turned from Off
to On (econ or normal A/C, or oor/
defog/defrost) SeeAutomatic Climate Control
System on page 154for more information.

Make sure the shift lever is fully in PARK (P)
before starting the engine. Your vehicle has an
automatic transaxle shift lock control system. You
have to fully apply the regular brakes rst and
then press the shift lever button before shifting
from PARK (P) while the ignition key is in RUN. If
you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure
on the shift lever and push the shift lever all
the way into PARK (P) while maintaining brake
application. Then press the shift lever button and
move the shift lever into another gear. See
Shifting Out of PARK (P) on page 122.
REVERSE (R):Use this gear to back up.
Notice:Shifting to REVERSE (R) while your
vehicle is moving forward could damage
the transaxle. The repairs would not be
covered by your warranty. Shift to
REVERSE (R) only after your vehicle is
stopped.
To rock your vehicle back and forth to get out of
snow, ice or sand without damaging your
transaxle, seeIf Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand,
Mud, Ice, or Snow on page 241.NEUTRAL (N):In this position, the engine does
not connect with the wheels. To restart the engine
while your vehicle is already moving, use
NEUTRAL (N) only. Also, use NEUTRAL (N) when
your vehicle is being towed.
{CAUTION:
Shifting into a drive gear while the engine
is running at high speed is dangerous.
Unless your foot is rmly on the brake
pedal, your vehicle could move very
rapidly. You could lose control and hit
people or objects. Do not shift into a drive
gear while your engine is running at high
speed.
Notice:Shifting out of PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N) while the engine is running at
high speed may damage the transaxle.
The repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Be sure the engine is not running at
high speeds when shifting your vehicle.

On cool, but sunny days while using manual
operation of the automatic system, use bi-level to
deliver warm air to the oor and cooler air to
the instrument panel outlets. To warm or cool the
air delivered, press the temperature buttons to
the desired setting.
In AUTO mode the system cools and dehumidies
the air inside the vehicle. Also while in AUTO
mode, the system maximizes its performance by
using recirculation as necessary.
Heating:On cold days when using manual
operation of the automatic system, use oor mode
to deliver air to the oor outlets. To warm or
cool the air delivered, push the temperature
buttons to the desired setting.
To use the automatic mode, turn the knob to
AUTO and adjust the temperature by pressing the
temperature buttons.
When the heater is in use, there might be slight
noise or vibration during Auto Stops. This is due to
the coolant circulation pump that continues to
circulate heat through the system during the
engine Auto Stop.
The heater works best if the windows are kept
closed.h(Recirculation):Press the button to turn on
the recirculation mode. The air inside the vehicle
recirculates through the climate control system and
the vehicle, not from outside your vehicle. This
mode is helpful when trying to limit odors
from entering the vehicle and for maximum air
conditioning performance in hot weather. When the
button is pressed, an indicator light above the
button comes on. The recirculation indicator light
blinks three times if recirculation is used in a
mode in which it cannot function. Only use this
mode when it is needed for comfort, since window
fogging rapidly occurs if the air conditioning
compressor is not engaged.
Press this button to cancel the auto recirculation
feature. Each time the vehicle is started, the
system reverts to the auto recirculation function.
If you select recirculation while in defrost, defog or
oor, the light on the button ashes three times
and then goes out to indicate that this is not
allowed. This is to prevent window fogging.

TRIP A or TRIP B
Press the information button until TRIP A or TRIP B
display. These modes show the current distance
traveled since the last reset for each trip odometer
in either miles (mi) or kilometers (km). Both
odometers can be used at the same time.
To reset the trip odometer to zero, press and hold
the reset button for a few seconds while the
desired trip odometer is displayed.
FUEL RANGE
Press the information button until FUEL RANGE
displays. This mode shows the remaining distance
you can drive without refueling in either miles (mi)
or kilometers (km). It is based on fuel economy and
the fuel remaining in the tank.
When the fuel level is low, FUEL RANGE LOW
displays.
The fuel economy data used to determine fuel
range is an average of recent driving conditions.
As your driving conditions change, this data is
gradually updated. The FUEL RANGE mode
cannot be reset.
MPG (L/100 KM) AVG (Average)
Press the information button until
MPG (L/100 KM) AVG displays. This mode shows
how many miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per
100 kilometers (L/100 km) your vehicle is getting
based on current and past driving conditions.
To reset the average fuel economy, press and hold
the reset button while MPG (L/100 KM) AVG is
displayed. Average fuel economy is then
calculated starting from that point. If the average
fuel economy is not reset, it is continually updated
each time you drive.
MPG (L/100 KM) INST (Instantaneous)
Press the information button until
MPG (L/100 KM) INST displays. This mode shows
the current fuel economy at a particular moment
and changes frequently as driving conditions
change. This mode shows the instantaneous fuel
economy in miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per
100 kilometers (L/100 km). Unlike average
fuel economy, this screen cannot be reset.
Under most coast conditions or at an idle stop,
AUTOSTOP displays. This means that the electric
motor is on, the gas engine is off, and the
engine is not using any fuel.

TPMS Sensor Identication Codes
Each TPMS sensor has a unique identication
code. Any time you replace one or more of
the TPMS sensors or rotate the vehicle’s tires, the
identication codes need to be matched to the
new tire/wheel position. The sensors are matched,
to the tire/wheel positions, in the following order:
driver side front tire, passenger side front tire,
passenger side rear tire, and driver side rear tire
using a TPMS diagnostic tool. See your Saturn
retailer for service.
The TPMS sensors can also be matched to each
tire/wheel position by increasing or decreasing
the tire’s air pressure. When increasing the tire’s
pressure, do not exceed the maximum ination
pressure indicated on the tire’s sidewall. To
decrease the tire’s air-pressure use the pointed
end of the valve cap, a pencil-style air pressure
gage, or a key.
You have two minutes to match each tire and wheel
position. If it takes longer than two minutes to match
any tire and wheel position, the matching process
stops and you need to start over.The TPMS matching process is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON with the
engine off.
3. Press and hold both the Lock and Unlock
buttons on the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter, at the same time, for
approximately ve seconds or until you hear
the horn sound twice.
4. The horn sounding twice indicates the
receiver is ready to learn the TPMS sensors.
The driver side front turn signal comes on
indicating that corner’s sensor is ready to be
learned.
5. Start with the driver side front tire.
6. Remove the valve cap from the tire’s valve
stem. Activate the TPMS sensor by increasing
or decreasing the tire’s air pressure for
about eight seconds. The horn chirp, can take
up to 30 seconds to sound. It sounds one
time and all the turn signals ash one time to
conrm the sensor identication code has
been matched to the tire/wheel position.
