Start-Stop System
Operation
The Start-Stop System shuts off the engine when
you
stop
at
traffic signals or during certain stop-
and-go driving conditions to save fuel. When the
system shuts off the engine, the Start-Stop System
light appears in the Driver Information System
in the instrument cluster. Releasing the brake
pedal
instantly restarts the engine and makes
power available before your foot even reaches the
accelerator.
When this feature is activated, the ignition and
other systems remain on for your convenience. To
ensure proper vehicle shutdown, it is critical that
you
turn
your ignition off
by
pressing the "Start Engine
Stop”
button
to
completely turn your vehicle off.
Please
refer
to your Owner's
Manual
for
operating
conditions.

Important Safety Instructions and Warnings: Start-Stop System
Never allow the engine to run in confined spaces, because this increases the risk of asphyxiation.
Never turn off the engine before the vehicle has come to
a
complete stop.
The brake booster and power steering no longer function when
you stop
the engine. You must
use
more force when braking or steering. Because
you
cannot brake and steer
as you
usually would, this could lead to accidents and serious injuries. These functions are still active if the Start-Stop
System has
stopped
the engine.
