About Stop/Start Technology
Stop/Start Technology* automatically stops and starts the vehicle’s engine under certain conditions. By turning off the engine when not needed, Stop/Start Technology can help improve fuel efficiency, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions (compared to the same vehicle with Stop/Start Technology not in use).
How Stop/Start Technology works
Stop/Start Technology works automatically, so you don’t have to make any effort or monitor battery power. Intelligent sensors monitor vehicle and battery systems, restarting the engine when needed to meet passenger comfort requirements. This helps to maximize the frequency and duration the engine will remain in Auto Stop during normal driving conditions.
When you’re driving and your vehicle comes to a complete stop, Stop/Start Technology (if equipped) may turn off your vehicle’s engine. When this happens, the needle on the tachometer will move to the “Auto Stop” position. Under normal driving conditions, when you release the brake pedal, the engine will start automatically.
To maintain vehicle performance, conditions such as A/C, current battery charge or other reasons may cause the engine to automatically restart before you release the brake pedal.
