A fuel-saving stop/start system has been
integrated with the 1.4L LE2 turbocharged engine. While driving, when the brakes are applied and the vehicle is at a complete stop, the engine may turn off, depending on conditions. When the engine stops, the tachometer gauge will read AUTO STOP. The audio system, climate controls and other accessories will continue to operate. Upon releasing the brake pedal or applying the accelerator pedal, the engine will restart. After turning off the engine, the tachometer gauge will read OFF.
The engine may remain running or restart when the vehicle is stopped if:
• A minimum vehicle speed is not reached.
• The shift lever is in any gear other than Drive (D).
• The battery charge is low.
• The outside temperature is not in the required operating range.
• The engine or transmission is not at the required operating temperature.
• The climate control system requires the engine to run based on the climate control or defog setting. Select the ECO air conditioning setting (green A/C indicator) to maximize the
frequency and duration of Auto Stops.
• The Auto Stop time is greater than 2 minutes.
