Stop/Start System<br />
{ Warning<br />
Exiting the vehicle without first<br />
shifting into P (Park) may cause<br />
the vehicle to move. You or others<br />
may be injured. Because the<br />
vehicle has the auto engine stop/<br />
start feature, the vehicle's engine<br />
might seem to be shut off;<br />
however, once the brake pedal is<br />
released, the engine will start up<br />
again.<br />
Shift to P (Park) and turn the<br />
ignition to LOCK/OFF, before<br />
exiting the vehicle.<br />
The vehicle has a fuel saving stop/<br />
start system to shut off the engine to<br />
help conserve fuel.<br />
Auto Engine Stop/Start<br />
When the brakes are applied and<br />
the vehicle is at a complete stop,<br />
the engine may turn off. When<br />
stopped, the tachometer displays<br />
AUTO STOP. See Tachometer<br />
0 103. When the brake pedal is<br />
released or the accelerator pedal<br />
pushed, the engine will restart.<br />
Auto Stop may be deactivated if:<br />
. A minimum vehicle speed is not<br />
reached.<br />
. The engine or transmission is<br />
not at the required operating<br />
temperature.<br />
. The outside temperature is not<br />
in the required operating range.<br />
Typically below -10 °C (14 °F) or<br />
above 50 °C (122 °F).<br />

. The Auto Stop time is greater<br />
than two minutes.<br />
Engine Heater<br />
The engine coolant heater,<br />
if available, can help in cold weather<br />
conditions at or below −18 °C (0 °F)<br />
for easier starting and better fuel<br />
economy during engine warm-up.<br />
Plug in the coolant heater at least<br />
four hours before starting the<br />
vehicle. An internal thermostat in<br />
the plug end of the cord will prevent<br />
engine coolant heater operation at<br />
temperatures above −18 °C (0 °F).<br />
To Use the Engine Coolant<br />
Heater<br />
1. Turn off the engine.<br />
2. Open the hood and unwrap the<br />
electrical cord.
