INTELLIGENT STOP/START
The Intelligent stop/start system is
designed to improve fuel efficiency and
is automatically activated when the
vehicle's ignition is switched on. Unless it
is required to support other vehicle
systems, the engine will switch off if the
vehicle is stopped, for example, at traffic
lights. When the brake pedal is released
and a drive gear is selected, the engine
will restart automatically.
Note: Always disable the Intelligent stop/
start system before wading. Failure to do
so could cause damage to the vehicle.
During operation of the Intelligent stop/
start system, a warning lamp will
illuminate. See 58, INTELLIGENT STOP/
START (GREEN).
To activate an automatic engine stop, stop
the vehicle from a speed greater than 4
km/h (2.5 mph). Apply sufficient brake
pressure to make sure the vehicle is
stationary. For vehicles with a manual
transmission, neutral must be selected,
and the clutch pedal fully released.
To activate an automatic engine restart
on vehicles with an automatic
transmission, release the brake pedal with
Drive (D) or Sport (S) selected. For manual
transmissions, the engine will restart when
the clutch pedal is fully pressed, before
selecting a gear.
The engine will also restart if one of the
following occurs:
• Intelligent stop/start is deactivated.
• The accelerator pedal is pressed
(automatic transmission only).
• An automatic transmission shift paddle
is used to select a gear.
• Reverse (R) gear is selected.
• Demand from the Climate control
system increases.
• The vehicle's speed exceeds
approximately 1 km/h (0.5 mph).
• The vehicle's battery charge becomes
low.
• Brake vacuum has been reduced, for
example, using the brake pedal
repeatedly with the engine off.
The following conditions will prevent an
automatic engine stop:
• An automatic transmission shift paddle
has been used to select a gear.
• The external temperature is less than
approximately 0°C.
• The external temperature is more than
approximately 40°C.
• The engine has not reached its
operating temperature.
• The driver's seat belt is not fastened.
• Demand from the Climate control
system requires the engine to be
running, for example, when in Defrost
mode.
• The vehicle's battery charge is low.
• Intelligent stop/start is deactivated.
• The bonnet is opened.
Note: Even when activated, it is normal
that the Intelligent stop/start system will
not always stop the engine when the
vehicle is stationary, and may restart the
engine before setting off.
