The fuel-saving engine stop/start system automatically stops and restarts the engine to help conserve fuel. The system may turn off the engine, referred to as an Auto Stop, when the brake pedal is pressed and the vehicle is at a complete stop, if operating conditions are met. In Auto Stop mode, the tachometer gauge will read AUTO STOP. The audio system, climate controls and other accessories will continue to operate. When the brake pedal is released or the accelerator pedal is pressed, the engine will restart. After parking the vehicle and 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 engine or transmission is not at the required operating temperature.
• The outside temperature is not in the required operating range.
• The shift lever is in any gear other than Drive (D).
• The battery charge is low.
• The climate control system requires the engine to run based on the current settings.
• The Auto Stop time is greater than 2 minutes.

Driver Shift Control is a manual mode that allows the driver to shift gears manually. It can be used to drive the vehicle in a sportier manner, or to downshift when driving on a downhill grade to provide engine braking.
1. From the Drive (D) position, move the shift lever left to the +/– position.
2. Tap the shift lever forward (+) to upshift or rear-ward (–) to downshift. The current gear is shown on the Driver Information Center.
