STOPPING THE ENGINE WHENYOUR VEHICLE IS MOVING -VEHICLES WITH: PUSH BUTTONSTART
WARNING: Switching off theengine when your vehicle is still movingresults in a significant decrease inbraking assistance. Higher effort isrequired to apply the brakes and to stopyour vehicle. A significant decrease insteering assistance could also occur. Thesteering does not lock, but higher effortcould be required to steer your vehicle.When you switch the ignition off, someelectrical circuits, for example airbags,also turn off. If you unintentionally switchthe ignition off, shift into neutral (N) andrestart the engine.
1.Press and hold the push button ignitionswitch until the engine stops, or pressit three times within two seconds.
2.Shift into neutral and use the brakes tobring your vehicle to a safe stop.
3.Shift into park (P).
4.Apply the parking brake.
AUTOMATIC ENGINE STOP (IF
EQUIPPED)
WHAT IS AUTOMATIC ENGINESTOP

STARTING AND STOPPING THEENGINE – WARNING LAMPS
Malfunction Indicator Lamp
If it illuminates when the engineis running, the on-boarddiagnostics system is detectinga malfunction of the vehicle emissioncontrol system.
If it flashes, engine misfire could beoccurring. Increased exhaust gastemperatures could damage the catalyticconverter or other vehicle components.Avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration,and have your vehicle checked as soon aspossible.
Powertrain Warning Lamp
If it illuminates when the engineis running, this indicates apowertrain or four-wheel drivefault. If it flashes when you are driving,immediately reduce the vehicle speed.Avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration,and have your vehicle checked as soon aspossible.
If both lamps illuminate when the engineis running, stop your vehicle as soon as itis safe to do so. Continuing to drive yourvehicle could cause reduced power or theengine to stop. Switch the ignition off andattempt to restart the engine. Have yourvehicle checked as soon as possible.

STARTING AND STOPPING THEENGINE – FREQUENTLY ASKEDQUESTIONS - VEHICLESWITHOUT: PUSH BUTTON START
Why is the engine idle speed high whenI am starting the engine?
The speed at which the engine idlesimmediately after starting is optimizedto minimize vehicle emissions andmaximize cabin comfort and fueleconomy.
Why does the engine not crank?
You can only attempt to start theengine for a limited amount of timebefore the starting system temporarilydisables. If you exceed the startingtime limit, a message may appear andyou cannot attempt to start the enginefor at least 15 minutes.
Why do I experience different drivingcharacteristics?
If you disconnect the battery, yourvehicle may exhibit some unusualdriving characteristics forapproximately 5 mi (8 km) after youreconnect it. This is because the enginemanagement system must realignitself with the engine. You candisregard any unusual drivingcharacteristics during this period.
Why can I not start the engine?
If you cannot start the engine after 3attempts, wait 10 seconds and do thefollowing:
1.Fully press the brake pedal or theclutch pedal.
Note:Make sure that the parking brake isapplied.
Note:Make sure that the transmission is inpark (P) or neutral (N).
2.Fully press the accelerator pedal andhold it there.
3.Turn the key to position III and waituntil the engine stops cranking.
4.Release the accelerator pedal.
5.Turn the key to position III.

WHAT IS A HYBRID ELECTRIC
VEHICLE
A hybrid vehicle has an electric motor anda high voltage battery combined with agasoline engine.
HOW DOES A HYBRID
ELECTRIC VEHICLE WORK
The hybrid vehicle combines electric andgasoline propulsion to provide optimalperformance and improved efficiency.
HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
DRIVING CHARACTERISTICS
The gasoline engine starts and stops toprovide power when required and to savefuel when not needed. When coasting atlow speeds, coming to a stop or standing,the gas engine normally shuts down andyour vehicle operates in electric-onlymode.
Conditions that may cause the gasolineengine to start or remain running include:
•Considerable vehicle acceleration.
•Driving uphill.
•The high voltage battery charge levelis low.
•Heating or cooling the vehicle interiorin high or low outside temperatures.
•The gasoline engine is below normaloperating temperature.
•Towing a trailer.
•Certain selectable drive modes couldcause the engine to run. See Selectinga Drive Mode (page 230).
Your hybrid vehicle also comes withstandard hydraulic braking andregenerative braking. Regenerative brakingis performed by your transmission andcaptures brake energy and stores it in thehigh voltage battery.
You could also notice that your enginecontinues to run instead of shutting offduring extended downhill driving. Theengine stays on during this engine brakingbut is not using any fuel.
You could also hear a slight whine orwhistle when operating your vehicle. Thisis the normal operation of the electricmotor in the hybrid system.
Note:Having your engine running is notalways an indication of inefficiency. In somecases, it is actually more efficient thandriving in electric mode.
HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
INDICATORS
When you start your vehicle, agreen READY indicator lightappears in the instrument clusterletting you know that your vehicle is readyfor driving.
The engine may not start because yourvehicle has a silent key start feature. Thisfuel saving feature allows your vehicle tobe ready to drive without requiring the gasengine to be running.
The indicator remains on when your vehicleis on, whether the engine is running or not,to indicate your vehicle is capable ofmovement using the electric motor, gasengine or both.
Typically, the engine does not start unlessthe vehicle is cold, a climate controlchange is requested or you press theaccelerator pedal.
