AUTO-START-STOP –FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why does the engine not alwaysstop when I expect it to?
The system is designed to work in a waythat complements other vehicle systems,allowing them to operate at optimumperformance.
The system does not stop the engine if:
•The driver door is open.
•Your vehicle is at high altitude.
•The heated windshield is on.
•The engine is warming up.
•The outside temperature is too low ortoo high.
•The battery charge is low.
•The battery temperature is outside theoptimal operating range.
•The engine is required to run tomaintain interior climate and reducefogging.
Why does the engine sometimesrestart when I do not expect it to?
The system is designed to work in a waythat complements other vehicle systems,allowing them to operate at optimumperformance.
The system restarts the engine if:
•You switch the heated windshield on.
•You switch maximum defrost on.
•Your vehicle starts to roll downhill inneutral.
•The engine is required to run tomaintain adequate brake systemassistance.

Avoid driving at excessive speed. Thiscauses vehicle momentum to work againstyou and your vehicle could become stuckto the point that assistance may berequired from another vehicle. Remember,you may be able to back out the way youcame if you proceed with caution.
DRIVING THROUGH MUD ANDWATER
WARNING: Do not spin the wheelsat over 34 mph (55 km/h). The tires mayfail and injure a passenger or bystander.
Mud
Be cautious of sudden changes in vehiclespeed or direction when you are driving inmud. Even four-wheel drive vehicles canlose traction in slick mud. If your vehicledoes slide, steer in the direction of the slideuntil you regain control of your vehicle.After driving through mud, clean off residuestuck to rotating driveshafts and tires.Excess mud stuck on tires and rotatingdriveshafts can cause an imbalance thatcould damage drive components.
Water
If you must drive through high water, driveslowly. Traction or brake capability maybe limited. When driving through water,determine the depth and avoid waterhigher than the bottom of the hubs. If theignition system gets wet, your vehicle maystall. Once through water, test the brakes.Wet brakes do not stop your vehicle aseffectively as dry brakes. Drying improvesby applying light pressure to the brakepedal while moving slowly.
Note:Driving through deep water maydamage the transmission. If the front or rearaxle is submerged in water, the axlelubricant and transfer case lubricant shouldbe checked and changed if necessary.
DRIVING ON HILLY OR SLOPINGTERRAIN
Although natural obstacles may make itnecessary to travel diagonally up or downa hill or steep incline, you should try to drivestraight up or straight down.
Note:Avoid turning on steep slopes or hills.A danger lies in losing traction, slippingsideways and possible vehicle roll over.Whenever driving on a hill, determinebeforehand the route you can use. Do notdrive over the crest of a hill without seeingwhat conditions are on the other side. Donot drive in reverse over a hill without theaid of an observer.
When climbing a steep slope or hill, startin a lower gear rather than downshifting toa lower gear from a higher gear once theascent has started. This reduces strain onthe engine and the possibility of stalling.
If your vehicle stalls, do not try toturnaround because this could causevehicle roll over. It is better to reverse backto a safe location.
Apply just enough power to the wheels toclimb the hill. Too much power can causethe tires to slip, spin or lose traction,resulting in loss of vehicle control.
Descend a hill in the same gear you woulduse to climb up the hill to avoid excessivebrake application and brake overheating.Do not descend in neutral. Disengageoverdrive or move the transmissionselector lever to a lower gear. Whendescending a steep hill, avoid sudden hardbraking as you could lose control. The frontwheels have to be turning in order to steeryour vehicle.

Note:If your vehicle has anti-lock brakes,apply the brakes steadily. Do not pump thebrakes.
DRIVING ON SNOW AND ICE
Four-wheel drive vehicles have advantagesover two-wheel drive vehicles in snow andice but can skid like any other vehicle.Should you start to slide while driving onsnowy or icy roads, turn the steering wheelin the direction of the slide until you regaincontrol.
Avoid sudden applications of power andquick changes of direction on snow andice. Apply the accelerator slowly andsteadily when starting from a full stop.Avoid sudden braking. Although afour-wheel drive vehicle can acceleratebetter than a two-wheel drive vehicle insnow and ice, it cannot stop any faster asbraking occurs at all four wheels. Do notbecome overconfident as to roadconditions.
Make sure you allow sufficient distancebetween you and other vehicles forstopping. Drive slower than usual andconsider using one of the lower gears. Inemergency stopping situations, apply thebrake steadily. Do not pump the brakepedal. See Anti-Lock Braking SystemLimitations (page 229).
Note:Excessive tire slippage can causetransmission damage.
