AUTO START–STOP
The Auto Start-Stop system is designed to automatically stop and restart the engine when
the vehicle is stationary for a short period of time (while waiting for a traffic light or in a
traffic jam) after the engine has warmed up. The system operates in order to reduce fuel
consumption, exhaust emissions and undesired idling noise.
Auto Start-Stop System ON/OFF
The Auto Start-Stop system can be turned on
and off in the Center Information Display (CID)
by using the Auto Start-Stop button on the
Home screen.
NOTE: The system will default to ON after the
vehicle has been shut off.
When the Auto Start-Stop system is turned OFF, the Auto Start-Stop OFF indicator
light in the combination meter display will illuminate. This is a solid yellow indicator.
System Operation
So that it can be used safely and comfortably, in addition to driver operations, the Auto
Start-Stop system is designed to constantly monitor the vehicle conditions as well as the
environment inside and outside the vehicle, in order to control stopping and restarting of
the engine.
After the vehicle has been completely stopped by depressing the brake pedal
with the select lever in the “D” position, the engine will be automatically
stopped.
If you release the brake pedal with the select lever kept in the “D” position, the
engine will be automatically restarted.
Auto Vehicle Hold (AVH) also integrates seamlessly with Auto Start-Stop functions. With
AVH, the parking brake automatically applies, so you can sit without your foot on the brake
pedal. To restart the engine, just gently press down on the accelerator pedal.
