AUTO-START-STOP
WARNING: Apply the parking
brake, shift into park (P), switch the
ignition off and remove the key before
you leave your vehicle. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in personal
injury or death. WARNING:
Apply the parking
brake, shift into park (P), switch the
ignition off and remove the key before
you open the hood or have any service
or repair work completed. If you do not
switch the ignition off, the engine could
restart at any time. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.
Principle of Operation
The system is designed to help reduce fuel
consumption and CO 2 emissions by
stopping the engine when it is idling, for
example at traffic lights. Your vehicle has
an enhanced starter motor that is designed
for an increased number of engine starts.
The system does not stop the engine under
certain conditions, for example:
• If you have opened the driver door.
• If you have unfastened the driver
seatbelt.
• If your vehicle is at high altitude.
• If you have switched the heated
windshield on.
• If you have shifted into manual (M).
• If your vehicle is on a steep grade.
• If the engine is warming up.
• If the outside temperature is too low
or too high. •
If the battery charge is low or the
battery temperature is outside the
optimal operating range.
• To maintain the interior climate or
reduce fogging.
• If you have turned the steering more
than 270 degrees.
The system restarts the engine under
certain conditions, for example:
• If you have opened the driver door.
• If you have unfastened the driver
seatbelt.
• If you switch the heated windshield on.
• If you switch maximum defrost on.
• If you turn the steering wheel.
• If your vehicle starts to roll downhill in
neutral.
• To maintain adequate brake
assistance.
• To maintain the interior climate or
reduce fogging.
Note: The blower motor speed could
change when the system restarts the engine.
Using Auto-Start-Stop
Stopping the Engine
Stop your vehicle and keep your foot on
the brake pedal and the transmission in
drive (D).
Note: The engine stops if you shift into park
(P) or neutral (N) regardless of whether you
have your foot on the brake pedal or not.
Note: Power assist steering turns off when
the engine is off.
Restarting the Engine
• Release the brake pedal.
• Press the accelerator pedal.
• Shift into drive (D), reverse (R) or
manual (M).

particulate filter. The diesel oxidation
catalytic converter and the diesel
particulate filter heat up to very high
temperatures after only a short period
of engine operation and remain hot after
you switch the engine off.
Diesel particulate filter warning
lamp.
If the diesel particulate filter is
near or at saturation, the warning lamp
appears advising you to initiate diesel
particulate filter manual regeneration.
Before you start manual regeneration, do
the following:
• Park your vehicle outside of any
enclosed structure.
• Make sure the transmission is in park
(P) or neutral (N).
• Make sure the parking brake is on.
• Park your vehicle a minimum of 10 ft
(3 m) from any obstructions and
materials that can easily combust or
melt, for example, paper, leaves, fuels,
plastics and other dry organic material.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 3.2 gal
(12 L)
of fuel in the fuel tank.
• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the engine coolant level.
Manual Regeneration
Where vehicle use has significant engine
idle operation, frequent vehicle speed less
than
25 mph (40 km/h), or driving short
distances where the engine does not fully
warm up, manual regeneration allows you
to start diesel particulate filter cleaning
when the engine is idling. Use the manual regeneration feature
when:
•
You are not able to drive in a manner
that allows effective automatic
cleaning. See
Diesel Particulate
Filter Automatic Regeneration.
• You choose to manually start the
regeneration process when the engine
is idling.
Note: Changes in the engine or exhaust
sound may be heard during the regeneration
process.
Note: During regeneration at low speed or
engine idle, you may smell a hot metallic
odor and could notice a clicking metallic
sound. This is due to the high temperatures
reached during the regeneration process.
This is normal.
Starting Manual Regeneration
You can only start manual regeneration
with the engine running at normal
operating temperature using the
information display. See
Information
Messages (page 100).
Note: During the use of manual
regeneration, you may observe a light
amount of white smoke. This is normal.
Note: If you press any pedal during manual
regeneration the engine may turn off. To
protect the exhaust system you may not be
able to restart the engine for 10 minutes. If a warning illuminates you may
not be able to start manual
regeneration.
