Engine Restart from Auto Stop

With the transmission in gear, the engine will restart when the brake pedal is released or the accelerator pedal is depressed. The transmission will automatically shift into gear after the engine restarts.

• The gear selector is moved out of DRIVE.
• To maintain a comfortable cabin temperature.
• The actual cabin temperature differs significantly from the temperature set in Auto HVAC.
• The HVAC is set to full defrost mode.
• The HVAC temperature or manual fan speed is adjusted higher.
• Battery voltage drops too low.
• The Stop/Start OFF switch is pressed.
• A Stop/Start system fault occurs.
• The STOP/START AUTO STOP ACTIVE time exceeds 5 minutes.
• The transfer case is in 4WD Low or N (Neutral).
• The steering wheel is turned beyond the threshold (ESS models only).
