START-STOP (IF EQUIPPED)
The system helps reduce fuel consumption
by automatically shutting off and restarting
your vehicle ’s engine while the vehicle is
stopped. The engine will restart
automatically when you release the brake
pedal. In some situations, your vehicle may
restart automatically, for example:
• To maintain interior comfort
• To recharge the battery
Note: Power assist steering is turned off
when the engine is off. WARNINGS
The engine may restart
automatically if required by the
system.
Switch the ignition off before
opening the hood or performing any
maintenance. Failure to do so may
result in serious injuries due to automatic
engine restart. Always switch the ignition off before
leaving your vehicle, as the system
may have turned the engine off, but
the ignition will still be on and automatic
restart may occur. The Auto StartStop system status is
available at a glance within the information
display. See Information Displays (page
83
).
Enabling Auto StartStop
The system is automatically enabled every
time you start your vehicle if the following
conditions are met:
• The Auto StartStop button is not
pressed (not illuminated).
• Your vehicle exceeds an initial speed
of 3 mph (4 km/h) after the vehicle has
been initially started.
• Your vehicle is stopped. •
Your foot is on the brake pedal.
• The transmission selector lever is in
position D.
• The driver's door is closed.
• There is adequate brake vacuum.
• The interior compartment has been
cooled or warmed to an acceptable
level.
• The front windshield defroster and rear
window defroster are off.
• The steering wheel is not turned rapidly
or is not at a sharp angle.
• The vehicle is not on a steep road
grade.
• The battery is within optimal operating
conditions (battery state of charge and
temperature in range).
• The engine coolant is at operating
temperature.
• Elevation is below approximately
10000 feet (3048 m).
• Ambient temperature is moderate
(40°F–95°F) (4°C –35°C).
Note: The system allows multiple
successive Auto StopStart events, but it
may not operate in conditions of heavy
traffic or in extended low speed operation. Note: The green Auto StartStop
indicator light on the instrument
cluster will illuminate to indicate
when the automatic engine stop occurs. Note:
If the instrument cluster is
equipped with a grey Auto
StartStop indicator light, it is
illuminated when automatic engine stop
is not available due to one of the above
noted conditions.
Automatic Engine Restart
Any of the following conditions will result
in an automatic restart of the engine:

1.
Locate the portable funnel that comes
with your vehicle. The funnel is located
behind the left-hand side rear seat,
under the carpet. Fold down the
left-hand side rear seat back. Pull back
the piece of carpet to access the
funnel. 2. Slowly insert the funnel into the
capless fuel system. 3. Fill the vehicle with fuel from the
portable fuel container.
4. When done, clean the funnel or properly dispose of it. Extra funnels can
be purchased from your authorized
dealer if you choose to dispose of the
funnel. FUEL CONSUMPTION
Note:
The amount of usable fuel in the
empty reserve varies and should not be
relied upon to increase driving range. When
refueling your vehicle after the fuel gauge
indicates empty, you might not be able to
refuel the full amount of the advertised
capacity of the fuel tank due to the empty
reserve still present in the tank.
Empty reserve is the amount of fuel
remaining in the tank after the fuel gauge
indicates empty. Do not rely on this fuel for
driving. The usable capacity of the fuel
tank is the amount of fuel that can be put
into the tank after the gauge indicates
empty. The advertised capacity is the total
fuel tank size – it is the combined usable
capacity plus the empty reserve.
Filling the Tank
For consistent results when filling the fuel
tank:
• Turn the ignition off before fueling; an
inaccurate reading results if the engine
is left running.
• Use the same fill rate
(low-medium-high) each time the tank
is filled.
• Allow no more than two automatic
click-offs when filling.
Results are most accurate when the filling
method is consistent.
Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during the
first 1000 miles (1600 kilometers) of
driving (this is your engine ’s break-in
period); a more accurate measurement is
obtained after 2000 miles - 3000 miles
(3200 kilometers - 4800 kilometers). Also,
fuel expense, frequency of fill ups or fuel
gauge readings are not accurate ways to
measure fuel economy.
