AUTO ENGINE STOP/START OPERATION
(IF EQUIPPED)
A fuel-saving automatic engine stop/start system is included on vehicles equipped with the 2.0L L4 turbocharged engine or 3.6L V6 engine.
While driving, when the brake pedal is applied and the vehicle is at a complete stop, the auto engine stop/start system may turn off the engine, depending on operating conditions. When the engine is off, the tachometer gauge will read AUTO STOP. Upon releasing the brake pedal or applying the accelerator pedal, the engine will restart. After parking the vehicle and turning off the engine, the tachometer gauge will read OFF.
