not intervene within 30 seconds, the
vehicle shuts down. Another message
appears in the information display to
inform you that the vehicle has shut down
in order to save fuel. Start your vehicle as
you normally do.
Automatic Shutdown Override

the automatic shutdown feature. When you
switch it off temporarily, it turns on at the
next ignition cycle.
