Stop/Start System

If equipped and enabled, the Stop/Start system will shut off the engine to help conserve fuel. It has components designed for the increased number of starts.

Auto Engine Stop/Start

When the brakes are applied and the vehicle is at a complete stop, the engine may turn off. The tachometer displays AUTO STOP. When the brake pedal is released or the accelerator pedal is pressed, the engine will restart. Other conditions may cause the engine to restart automatically.
