In the following situations, the engine may start even without the brake
pedal being released (vehicles with a Multidrive) or clutch pedal being
depressed (vehicles with a manual transmission).
• The brake pedal is pumped or strongly depressed.
• The air conditioning system is being used or turned on.
• Vehicles with an automatic air conditioning system only: The wind-
shield defogger is turned on.
• The battery is not sufficiently charged.
• The vehicle starts to roll on an incline.
• Vehicles with a Multidrive: The hood is opened when the shift lever is in
N or P.
• The accelerator pedal is depressed.
• A large amount of electricity is being used.
• Vehicles with a Multidrive: The driver’s door is opened.
• Vehicles with a Multidrive: The driver’s seat belt is unfastened.

• After the battery terminals have been disconnected and reconnected
after a battery replacement, etc.
• The engine coolant temperature is low.
Automatic reactivation of the Stop & Start system

The Stop & Start system protection feature
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system:
When an excessively loud sound is being projected by the audio system, the
audio system may be automatically cut off in order to maintain power for the
Stop & Start system function.
If this occurs, turning the engine switch to the “LOCK” position then to the
“ACC” or “ON” position re-enables the audio system.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system:
When an excessively loud sound is being projected by the audio system, the
audio system may be automatically cut off in order to maintain power for the
Stop & Start system function.
If this occurs, turning the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off then to ACCES-
SORY mode or IGNITION ON mode re-enables the audio system.
Steering wheel operation
When the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system, the steering wheel
may become heavier than when driving.
Hood
If the hood is opened while the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system,
the engine cannot be restarted by the Stop & Start system or by the auto-
matic engine start function. Restart the engine with the engine switch opera-
tion. (P. 224, 228)
Vehicles with a Multidrive: If the hood is opened while the engine is stopped
by the Stop & Start system and the shift lever is in N or P, the engine will
restart.
Hill-start assist control (vehicles with a Multidrive)
On a steep uphill grade, the vehicle may roll backward after hill-start
assist control is released. In this situation, apply the parking brake and
operate the brake pedal when putting the vehicle in motion.
This system operates on flat surfaces as well as steep grades.
When the engine is stopped due to Stop & Start system operation, the
force required to depress the brake pedal may change, but this is not a
malfunction.
When to use the Stop & Start system
Use the Stop & Start system when stopping the vehicle temporarily at red
lights, intersections, etc. When stopping the vehicle for a longer period of
time, turn off the engine completely.

Overheating
If you observe the following, your vehicle may be overheating:
The high engine coolant temperature warning light flashes or comes on
or a loss of power is experienced.
Steam comes out from under the hood.
CAUTION
To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of
your vehicle
If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until
the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot, caus-
ing serious injuries such as burns.
Keep hands and clothing away from the fan and drive belt while the engine
is running.
Do not loosen the radiator cap, or the coolant reservoir cap while the
engine and radiator are hot.
Serious injury, such as burns, may result from hot coolant and steam
released under pressure.
