The driver's door is closed or the
driver's seat belt is fastened.

The vehicle battery is sufficiently
charged and in good condition.

The engine coolant temperature is not
too high.

The engine exhaust temperature is not
too high, e.g. after driving with high
engine load.
● The ambient temperature is not too low
or too high.
● The climate control system allows an
Autostop.
● The brake vacuum is sufficient.

switched to a power saving mode. The
fan speed of the climate control system is
reduced to save power.
