The Stop/Start function is developed to re-
duce fuel consumption. The system will stop
the engine automatically during a vehicle
stop if the required conditions are met.

ESS vehicles have been upgraded with a
heavy duty starter, enhanced battery, and
other upgraded engine parts, to handle the
additional engine starts. Vehicles equipped
with eTorque contain a heavy duty motor
generator and an additional hybrid electric
battery to store energy from vehicle decelera-
tion for use on engine startup after a stop as
well as providing launch torque assist.
NOTE:
It is recommended that the Start/Stop Sys-
tem be disabled during off-road use.
