A fuel-saving stop/start system has been integrated with the 2.0L Turbo engine. While driving, when the brake pedal is applied and the vehicle is at a complete stop, the automatic engine stop/start system may turn off the engine, depending on operating condi-tions. When the engine is off, the tachometer 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 will read OFF.

• A minimum vehicle speed was not reached prior to stopping.
• The engine or trans-mission is not at the required operating temperature.
• The outside temperature is not in the required operating range.
• The shift lever is in any gear other than Drive (D).
• The battery charge is low.
