The Stop/Start feature is enabled after every normal customer engine start. At that time, the system will go into STOP/START READY and if all other conditions are met, can go into a STOP/START AUTOSTOP ACTIVE "Autostop" mode.

To Activate The Autostop Mode, The Following Must Occur:

•  The system must be in STOP/START READY state. A STOP/START READY message will be displayed in the Driver Information Display (DID) within the Stop/ Start section. Refer to "Driver Information Display (DID)" in "Understanding Your Instrument Panel" for further information.
•  The vehicle must be completely stopped.
•  The shifter must be in a forward gear and the brake pedal depressed.

The engine will shut down, the tachometer will move to the zero position and the Stop/Start telltale will illuminate indicating you are in Autostop. Customer settings will be maintained upon return to an engine running condition.
